Soundtoys FilterFreak - Manual (Page 24)

Mod
As we mentioned earlier the real action starts when you pump audio through
FilterFreak and tweak the knobs. But what is even more cool is when you “modulate”
the filter automatically with various control sources so you don’t have to sit there
and turn the knobs up, down, up, down…which is kind of silly and gets really tedious
really fast. So it should come as no surprise that FilterFreak provides a “modulation”
section that allows you to dynamically adjust the filter frequency rhythmically, in
response to the audio input, or in a whole bunch of other interesting ways.
The M Mo od d knob is used to control the “depth” or amount of modulation applied to the
filter’s Frequency. The higher the Mod knob setting the greater the modulation depth
and the greater the filter sweep, the lower the Mod setting the lower the amount of
sweep or modulation. Keep in mind that how the filter is swept is based on the type
of modulation signal used.
Choosing a Modulation Mode
When is comes to modulation the more sources you have the greater the sonic possi-
bilities. FilterFreak includes a number of different modulation “Modes”, called funny
enough “Modes” that allow you to modulate FilterFreak in a variety of cool ways. To
select one of the Modes, click on the “M Mo od de e” pop-up button, drag the mouse to high-
light the desired Mode and let go.
