turn up FILT 1 HP, effectively giving you a “HIGHPASS” input to FILTER 2
instead of a notch.
- When using
BP as the input to FILTER 2, you can invert the bandpass
filtering by pressing the
BP INVERT button in the POST FILTER MIX module.
RING MOD Signal Routing
The signal routing of the Ring Modulator has a unique feature that allows you to
bypass the Filters while still routing the
RING MOD signal as in the above examples.
This allows you to hear the filtered and unfiltered Ring Modulator simultaneously.
You can’t do that with the other components of
PRE FILTER MIX.
To hear the Ring Modulator in its purest form, turn all four knobs in
PRE
FILTER MIX
fully counter-clockwise. This turns off all of the PRE FILTER MIX
components going to the Filters.
In
POST FILTER MIX, press the RING MOD button located near the bottom of this
module until the LED is off. (If the
OSC 1 SINE or OSC 2 SINE LEDs are lit, press
those buttons to turn them off.) This connects the Ring Modulator’s output to
the
PRE FILTER knob, bypassing the Filters. Use this knob to control the level of
the unfiltered Ring Modulator signal.
Try pressing the
MOD button and assigning ENV 1 (PITCH) to shape the loudness
of the Ring Modulator’s signal, especially if the Filter Envelope is being used
to control the other signals.
To hear this unfiltered Ring Modulator signal along with filtering, raise the
RING MOD control in the PRE FILTER MIX. Then follow one of the procedures on
the previous page to route the
RING MOD signal, in parallel, through one or
both of the Filters.
