This is a Filter type that only passes signals below the Cutoff 
Frequency. The sound can be brightened by raising the cutoff 
frequency of the filter. On the other hand, the sound can be 
darkened by lowering the cutoff frequency of the filter. You can 
produce a distinctive “peaky” sound by raising the Resonance 
to boost the signal level in the area of the Cutoff Frequency. 
This filter type is most popular and useful for producing classic 
synthesizer sounds. 

LPF24D

A dynamic 24 dB/oct low-pass filter with a characteristic digital sound. 
Compared to the LPF24A type (below), this filter can produce a more 
pronounced resonance effect. 

LPF24A

A digital dynamic low-pass filter with characteristics similar to a 4-pole 
analog synthesizer filter. 

LPF18

3-pole 18 dB/oct low-pass filter. 

LPF18s

3-pole 18 dB/oct low-pass filter. This filter has a smoother cutoff slope 
than the LPF18 type. 

This is a Filter type that only passes signals above the Cutoff 
Frequency. You can then use the Resonance to add further 
character to the sound. 

HPF24D

A dynamic 24 dB/oct high-pass filter with a characteristic digital sound. 
This filter can produce a pronounced resonance effect. 

HPF12

12 dB/oct dynamic high-pass filter. 

This Filter type is a combination of a LPF and HPF. When this 
Filter Type is selected, you can set the Cutoff Frequency 
around which the audio signal is passed. 

BPF12D

The combination of a -12 dB/oct HPF and LPF with a characteristic 
digital sound.
