FILT 1

or

FILT 2

ENV 2 AMOUNT

ENV2

0.00 ···
100.00

This parameter is used to set the amount of

Envelope 2 modulating the selected filter.

OFFSET

-100.00 ···

+100.00

This parameter sets the offset for

ENV 2

.

KEY TRACK

KEYTRK

-100.00 ···

+100.00

This parameter is used to set the amount of filter

tracking by the keyboard. At a setting of

50.00

,

the selected filter will be tracked by the keyboard
at “1 volt-per-octave” which is the same amount
as the VCOs. This means that the VCOs and the
selected filter will be tracked by the keyboard in

parallel. See page 121 for more details.

OFFSET

-127 ···

+127

This parameter sets the offset for

KEYTRK

.

Unlike the other offset, it is quantized in
semitones: if you want the filter to be an octave

lower when it's tracking the keyboard, set this to
–12.

FILT 1

(menu;
affects
both)

(none)

CV IN

0.00 ···
100.00

This parameter sets how much a control voltage
(if one is plugged into the

CV FILTER INPUT

jack on

the Andromeda's rear panel) will affect the filter
frequency of both Filter 1 and Filter 2, if the
filter's

CV SRC

is set to

EXT IN

. If

CV SRC

is set

to

OSC FM,

this parameter sets the amount the

filter will be modulated by the oscillator.

FILT 1

or

FILT 2

(none)

CV SRC

This parameter allows you to select either an external input
(typically from an external envelope generator) to modulate

the filter, or to FM modulate the filter by

OSC 1:

(OFF)

If you turn Soft Knob 8 full counter-clockwise, so
that neither of the following settings are
highlighted, there will be no effect on the filter,

regardless of the setting of the

CV IN

control.

EXT IN

When

EXT IN

is in reverse type in the

display, the filter may be controlled by a signal
plugged into the

CV FILTER INPUT

jack on the

Andromeda's rear panel.

FILTFM

When selected, the filter may be FM modulated
by the output of

OSC 1

and/or

OSC 2

. For

FILTFM to work, the oscillator's FILTFM output
must be enabled (on the Oscillator's

WAVE

page

/

FILTFM

parameter). The level of FM

modulation is affected only by the

CV IN

parameter, not by any setting of the

PRE

FILTER MIX

knobs. For more information, see

"What is FM?" earlier in this chapter.
