bypass  
No filter. This setting is useful for previewing the un-filtered 
signal. 
 
lowpass ob_2pole 

 

Modeled on the lowpass output of the multi-mode filter built into 
a classic synthesizer expander module.  

 

lowpass tb_3pole 

 

Modeled on the filter from a little silver bass synthesizer whose 
sound has become ubiquitous in many styles of electronic music. 

 

lowpass mg_4pole 

 

Modeled on the filter found in the most famous monophonic 
analog synth ever made.  The filter, with a steep cutoff and deep 
resonance, earned much credit for its fat sound.  This filter will 
self-oscillate at high resonance settings.  

 

lowpass rp_4pole 

 

Modeled on the filter in a very popular semi-modular synth. This 
filter will clip (distort) when fed a loud input level.  
 
lowpass jp_4pole 

 

Modeled on the lowpass filter from a popular 8-voice synth noted 
for its very colorful case and colorful, versatile sound.  Compare 
its sound to the mg or rp filters.  
 
lowpass al_8pole 

 

Unique to the Micron. 8 poles give this filter an extremely steep 
cutoff. 
 
bandpass ob_2pol 

 

Modeled on the bandpass output of the ob multi-mode filter. 

 

bandpass al_6pol 

 

Unique to the Micron.  This filter sounds like an exaggerated 
version of the ob bandpass.
