Vermona Filter Lancet - analogue multimode filter - Manual (Page 8)

BYPASS
Setting this switch to BP to disable all sections of FILTER Lancet. The
input signal is passed directly to the output after the GAIN stage. With
the switch set to ON, all sections are active.
Filter (VCF)
FILTER Lancet's central sound shaping takes place in its multimode filter
section. It can be configured as low pass, high pass and band pass. Each
type will suppress certain frequencies that will result in specific sound col-
oring. Let us start with a short explanation of the available filter types:
Low pass
The low pass will only let the low frequencies of the input signal pass. CUT-
OFF sets the frequency where the attenuation starts. The lower CUTOFF is
set, the more high frequencies will be suppressed, resulting in a sound
more muffled.
A slowly opening low pass filter is a characteristic element of countless
House- and Dance-tracks. Its rising effect will accentuate intros, breaks and
build-ups.
High pass
The high pass filter is the exact opposite of the low pass filter. It will only
let high frequencies of the input signal pass. CUTOFF sets the frequency
where the attenuation starts. The higher CUTOFF is set, the more low fre-
quencies will be suppressed and the sound will lose bass. The high pass fil-
ter is well suited for mash-up-mixing. It allows removing/attenuating bass
drums and basslines from a track that is to be mixed with a second track.
Ideally, the second track is run through a separate low pass filter at the
same time.
Band pass
The band pass filter is a combination of a low pass- and high pass filter. It
will only let a certain frequency band of the input signal pass. CUTOFF sets
the center frequency for that frequency band. By moving CUTOFF, you set
the pass band for the mid frequencies. The band pass offers a slope less
steep than that of the other filter types. Its efficiency is a little less
distinctive.
