Filters and waveshaper

A terse lookup for every filter control. The per-filter set applies to both Filter 1 and Filter 2 unless noted. For the full guide see The two filters.

ControlWhat it doesRange / values
ModelThe filter model and circuit character. Each colours and resonates differently.Ladder / SVF / Bite / Multimode / Cascade / Diode / Acid
CutoffCorner frequency.20 Hz to 20 kHz
ResonanceQ and emphasis at cutoff; approaches self-oscillation near maximum.0 to 100 %
DriveInput gain into the filter’s nonlinearity.1 to 10
ModeDiscrete response shape and the home node the Morph slider drifts from.LP / BP / HP / Notch (varies by model)
MorphContinuously morphs the response between LP, BP, HP and Notch as a signed offset from the selected Mode (centre is on the mode).signed offset
VoicingDrive character: Clean is a transparent saturation; Analog adds per-stage nonlinearity for a thicker push (enables Depth).Clean / Analog
DepthHow hard the Analog per-stage saturation is driven, clean to thick. Active only under Analog voicing.0 to 100 %
Env AmtHow much the filter envelope pushes the cutoff.plus or minus 6 octaves
Key TrackHow much the cutoff follows the played note, so the filter opens as you play higher.0 to 100 %
FeedbackPost-filter feedback loop amount (“bark”), adding resonant edge as it is raised.0 to 100 %
ControlWhat it doesRange / values
Env LinkWhen on, Filter 2’s envelope amount follows Filter 1 instead of its own knob.Off / On
Key LinkWhen on, Filter 2’s key-track follows Filter 1 instead of its own knob.Off / On
ControlWhat it doesRange / values
RoutingHow the two filters combine. Single uses one; Serial chains them; Parallel sums them; Ring multiplies; Stereo and Wide split them across the stereo field.Single / Serial / Parallel / Ring / Stereo / Wide
FB SatSoft saturation on the feedback edges of both filter loops; bites only when a Feedback loop is engaged (zero is linear).0 to 100 %

See Feedback and FB Sat and Routing.

ControlWhat it doesRange / values
PositionWhere the high-pass sits in the chain: Off, Pre (before the filters) or Post (after them).Off / Pre / Post
FreqHigh-pass corner frequency.20 to 2000 Hz
BiteResonance at the high-pass corner, adding a bite emphasis just above the rolloff.0 to 100 %
SlopeSteepness of the high-pass rolloff.6 / 12 / 24 dB/oct

Adds harmonics at a configurable point around the filter block. See Effect by effect.

ControlWhat it doesRange / values
PlacePosition in the signal path.Pre-Filter / Post-Filter / Mid-Filter
CurveTransfer-curve character.None / Soft / Tanh / Hard Clip / Cubic / Sine / Fold / Asym / Draw
DriveHow hard the signal hits the curve.0 to 100 %
MixDry/wet blend.0 to 100 %
TrimInput level ahead of the curve.0 to 100 %
BiasAsymmetry amount (Asym curve only).0 to 100 %
