Dynamic Expression Filter (DEF)
e Dynamic Expression Filter (DEF) provides a phase corrected, 7
th
order, morphing lter for adding
expressiveness before and aer sustaining note-on events. is lter can accurately and continuously
morph frequency responses of velocity dynamics even aer note-on events have occurred. e lter is
driven by either a standard midi continuous controller such as the Mod Wheel, note velocity, a lter
envelope, or a combination of all three. e morphing response coecients can be unique for each note
region and sub-region, making it possible to create extremely detailed lter proles. In other words, the
DEF can make a sample sound as if it were played at dierent intensities, allowing for real-time crescendos
and diminuendos of a sustaining note.
Note: the DEF works with 24-bit samples only
Some of the DEF settings, including enabling and disabling the lter, are dened globally for an instrument.
ese global DEF settings are found on the ‘Dynamic Expression Filter’ tab of the Instrument Properties
dialog. To open the Instrument Properties dialog, right click on a loaded instrument in the Editor and select
‘Properties’.
e Global DEF settings are listed below:

is checkbox enables the lter. e eect may not be audible immediately depending on the
settings of the lter coecients in the region articulations (see DEF Filter Coecients section
below).
