8. Filter parameters
Each of the two filters has the following editable parameters:
Type
Choose from a collection of classic and modern filter types.
Freq (Frequency)
Dial in the frequency at which the filter begins to operate.
Res (Resonance)
Add a boost at the current filter frequency. Very high resonance
settings can cause certain filter types to “whistle,” or self-oscillate.
Keytrk (Key tracking)
Set whether the filter frequency rises and falls to match the keys
you play or stays constant regardless of the keys you play. A
setting of 0 means the filter frequency will remain constant across
the keyboard. If the key track parameter is set to +100, the filter
tracks the keyboard perfectly, and with enough resonance, can be
played as if it were an oscillator. Negative settings mean the filter
will grow darker as higher notes are played.
EnvAmt (Envelope Amount)
Set the degree to which the filter frequency will be affected by the
filter envelope. A negative setting inverts the envelope.
Additionally, filter 2 has the following parameter:
Offset
Absolute
The value assigned for filter 2’s frequency setting is applied
normally.
Offset

Additionally, filter 2 has the following parameter:
Offset
Absolute
The value assigned for filter 2’s frequency setting is applied
normally.
Offset
The value assigned for filter 2’s frequency is locked into a relative
position with filter 1’s frequency. Filter 2’s frequency
automatically rises and falls in step with filter 1’s frequency.

Mapping the (x/y/z) knobs
Remember, any parameter
may be mapped to the x, y, or
z knobs. When the parameter
is on the screen, simply hold
down the control knob and
wiggle the knob that you want
to map to.
