z Filter

Filter effects shape sound by allowing only a specified range of frequencies
to pass and/or by producing a resonance peak at the filter’s “cutoff” fre-
quency. Filter effects can be used to create a range of synthesizer-like
sounds.

* Filter effects can sometimes cause distortion in the bass frequencies.

Some hints for using the filter effects are provided on page 22.

Knob A adjusts the filter’s cutoff frequency, and therefore the brightness of
the sound.

Knob B adjusts the amount of resonance applied at the filter’s cutoff fre-
quency. Increasing the resonance emphasizes the frequencies at the cutoff
frequency, and thus “strengthens” the perceived effect of the filter.

x Effect

Reverb reproduces the acoustic ambience of a concert hall or club, while
chorus produces a layered “multi-instrument” effect.

Knob A adjusts the depth of the reverb effect, and Knob B adjusts the depth
of the chorus effect.
