Filter plug-ins
This section contains descriptions of the plug-ins in the
“Filter” category.
StepFilter
StepFilter is a pattern-controlled multimode filter that can
create rhythmic, pulsating filter effects.
General operation
StepFilter can produce two simultaneous 16-step pat-
terns for the filter cutoff and resonance parameters, syn-
chronized to the sequencer tempo.
Setting step values
• Setting step values is done by clicking in the pattern
grid windows.
• Individual step entries can be freely dragged up or
down the vertical axis, or directly set by clicking in an
empty grid box. By click-dragging left or right, consecutive
step entries will be set to the pointer position.
Setting filter cutoff values in the grid window.
• The horizontal axis shows the pattern steps 1–16 from
left to right, and the vertical axis determines the (relative)
filter cutoff frequency and resonance setting.
The higher up on the vertical axis a step value is entered, the higher the
relative filter cutoff frequency or filter resonance setting.
• By starting playback and editing the patterns for the
cutoff and resonance parameters, you can hear how your
filter patterns affect the sound source connected to Step-
Filter directly.
Selecting new patterns
• Created patterns are saved with the project, and up to 8
different cutoff and resonance patterns can be saved in-
ternally.
Both the cutoff and resonance patterns are saved together in the 8 Pat-
tern memories.
• To select new patterns you use the pattern selector.
New patterns are all set to the same step value by default.
Pattern Selector
Using pattern copy and paste to create
variations
You can use the Copy and Paste buttons below the pat-
tern selector to copy a pattern to another pattern memory
location, which is useful for creating variations on a pat-
tern.
• Select the pattern you wish to copy, click the Copy but-
ton, select another pattern memory location and click
Paste.
The pattern is copied to the new location, and can now be edited to cre-
ate variations using the original pattern as a starting point.
