High-Pass Filter
After each voice’s low-pass lter, the signal passes through a 2-pole, resonant
analog high-pass lter. There is also a control for modulating the lter cutoff with
the keyboard.
Frequency: 0...127
—Sets the high-pass lter’s cutoff frequency. Frequencies
below the cutoff are attenuated at a slope of 12 dB per octave. Frequencies above
the cutoff pass through the lter unaffected, hence the name “high-pass.”
Resonance: 0...127
—Emphasizes a narrow band of frequencies around the
cutoff frequency. Normally, the high-pass lter does not self oscillate at the
maximum resonance setting. However, it may be driven into self-oscillation by
routing DC modulation to resonance to push it beyond what can be achieved
by the Resonance control alone. Be aware, though, that the signal level of the
self-oscillation is signicantly higher than normal, and will likely cause severe
clipping, especially as more voices are played.
That can be mitigated by turning
down the voltage controlled amplier envelope amount and, if used, the VCA
Velocity
Amount.
Key Amount: 0...127
—Sets the amount of modulation from the note data
received via MIDI to Frequency (the lter’s cutoff frequency). A setting of 64
will step the lter in semitone increments for each note, 32 would be quarter-
tones, and so on.
Note: The high-pass lter does not have a dedicated envelope like the low-
pass does. However, auxiliary envelopes 3 and 4 can be routed directly to
the high-pass lter, and any of the envelopes can be used to modulate the
high-pass using the modulation matrix. See Modulation on page 32 for
more information.
