Now press a key and try turning the knob clockwise and listen to the result. You will

hear the sound get thinner and thinner sounding until it goes away completely at

the top of the range.

Figure 5

Band Pass Filtering

Now move the MODE switch to BP = Band Pass.

If you move the CUTOFF knob you will hear the effects of the Band Pass Filter. This

filter allows a range of frequencies both above and below the cutoff point to be

passed.

See

Figure 6

Filter Resonance

The RESONANCE control on the filter is one that emphasizes the frequencies that the

CUTOFF is set to.

If you reset your filter controls to the BASIC PATCH settings, we can do some sonic

experiments to see how this affects the sound. Play a sound and turn the

RESONANCE control to the position shown in Figure 7. You will probably not hear too

much of a change to the sound. But with the resonance set as shown, play a sound

and turn the CUTOFF knob counter clockwise. You will hear that famous ‘analog’

filter sweep type of sound.

Experiment with different settings of the RESONANCE and CUTOFF controls to hear

the sounds you can create.

Once you have a good feel for the range of sounds you can get with this setting,

change the MODE to HP and to BP and experiment with the CUTOFF and

RESONANCE settings to see how varied the sounds become.
