SOUND
● FILTER
Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking
or passing a specific frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall
timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to
making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to produce elec-
tronic, synthesizer–like effects.
FUNCTION Selects the function to be assigned to the left pedal. For details on
the pedal functions, see page 191.

set in BRIGHTNESS above (see diagram). Higher values result in a
