1. type Filter type
The 'type' parameter specifies the filter type that is applied to the patch;
- 'none'; no filter is applied. Use this setting to conserve some DSP resources.
- 'LoW1'; low-pass. Frequencies below the cut-off threshold are left intact, while frequencies above the cut-off threshold are rejected. A typical use is to turn turn "sharp" tones into mellow pads and basses. This filter's slope is closest to a 24db filter. It has a more analog, benign, less harsh response and sound than 'LoW2'.
- 'LoW2'; low-pass. Frequencies below the cut-off threshold are left intact, while frequencies above the cut-off threshold are rejected. This filter's slope is closest to a 24db filter. It can be made to self resonate ("scream") and ring at high resonances depending on the input/impulse.
- 'bnd1'; band-pass type 1. Frequencies around the cut-off threshold are kept, while those further away are being rejected. This filter's slope is closest to a 18db filter response. It can be made to self resonate ("scream") and ring at high resonances depending on the input/impulse, though it has a more analog, benign, less harsh response and sound than 'bnd2'. Typical uses are leads, vocals or - at high resonances - synthesized percussion such as kicks, wood blocks, bongos, congas, etc.
- 'bnd2'; band-pass type 2. Frequencies around the cut-off threshold are kept, while those further away are being rejected. This filter's slope is closest to a 18db filter response. It can be made to self resonate ("scream") and ring at high resonances depending on the input/impulse, and it has a sharper response and sound compared to 'bnd2'. It may distort at high resonances. Typical uses are leads, vocals or - at high resonances - synthesized percussion such as kicks, wood blocks, bongos, congas, etc.
- 'bnd3'; band-pass type 1. Frequencies around the cut-off threshold are kept, while those further away are being rejected. This filter's slope is closest to a 6db filter response. It can be made to self resonate ("scream") and ring at high resonances depending on the input/impulse, though it has a more analog, benign, less harsh response and sound than 'bnd4'. Typical uses are leads, vocals or - at high resonances - synthesized percussion such as kicks, wood blocks, bongos, congas, etc.
- 'bnd4'; band-pass type 2. Frequencies around the cut-off threshold are kept, while those further away are being rejected. This filter's slope is closest to a 6db filter response. It can be made to self resonate ("scream") and ring at high resonances depending on the input/impulse, and it has a sharper response and sound compared to 'bnd3'. It may distort at high resonances. Typical uses are leads, vocals or - at high resonances - synthesized percussion such as kicks, wood blocks, bongos, congas, etc.
- 'hiP1'; high-pass type 1. This filter's slope is closest to a 6db filter response. Frequencies above the cut-off threshold are left intact, while frequencies above the cut-off threshold are rejected. A typical use case is percussive elements.
- 'hiP2'; high-pass type 2. This filter's slope is closest to a 6db filter response. Frequencies above the cut-off threshold are left intact, while frequencies above the cut-off threshold are rejected. A typical use case is percussive elements. Slightly more ringing can be observed in the output, compared to 'hiP1' and it may distort at high resonances.
- 'hiP3'; high-pass type 3. This filter's slope is closest to a 18db filter response. It can be made to self resonate ("scream") and ring at high resonances depending on the input/impulse, though it has a more analog, benign, less harsh response and sound than 'hiP4'. Frequencies above the cut-off threshold are left intact, while frequencies above the cut-off threshold are rejected.
- 'hiP4'; high-pass type 4. This filter's slope is closest to a 18db filter response. Frequencies above the cut-off threshold are left intact, while frequencies above the cut-off threshold are rejected. A typical is percussive elements. It can be made to self resonate ("scream") and ring at high resonances depending on the input/impulse and it may distort at high resonances.
- 'not1'; notch type 1. Frequencies around the cut-off threshold are rejected, while those further away are being kept. It can be made to self resonate ("scream") and ring at high resonances depending on the input/impulse, though it has a more analog, benign, less harsh response and sound than 'not2'. Typical uses include giving subtle movement to leads, pads and bass patches by means of an LFO.
- 'not2'; band-pass type 2. Frequencies around the cut-off threshold are rejected, while those further away are being kept. It can be made to self resonate ("scream") and ring at high resonances depending on the input/impulse. Typical uses include giving subtle movement to leads, pads and bass patches by means of an LFO. This filter may distort at high resonances.

0 causes the AEG to have no effect at all on the oscillator's amplitude, while 127 causes full effect.
