F2 INPUT

INPUT

Available on

FILTER 2

only, this parameter allows you to select

the input (the audio source) of

FILTER 2

:

OFF

FILTER 2

receives no input (but it can

generate tones on its own when in full
resonance).

MIX

When this is selected, the output of

PRE

FILTER MIX

is fed into

FILTER 2

. When

MIX

is

selected as the input, the A6’s filters

operate in parallel. This means that both
filters are filtering the sound independently

at the same time. Use the level knobs in

POST FILTER MIX

to “mix” the levels coming

from both filters.

To filter the A6’s audio by

FILTER 1

only,

simply turn off

FILTER 2

by turning the

FILT2

LP

knob fully counter-clockwise.

To filter the A6’s audio by

FILTER 2

only,

simply turn off

FILTER 1

by turning the

FILT1

LP

,

FILT1 HP

and

FILT1 BP

knobs fully

counter-clockwise.

NOTCH

FILTER 2

will filter the output

of

FILTER 1

’s notch filter(Low Pass and High

Pass, post-fader). The output of

FILTER 1 LOW

PASS

will be

disconnected from feeding the VCA

directly—their knobs feed only Filter 2.

BP

Band Pass

When selected,

FILTER 2

will filter the output

of
