The filter types have the following display designations:

Band Stop
When some of the above types are selected, an extra parameter appears on the Filter 1 / 2
page. Exactly what this parameter is for depends on the type of filter selected. The extra
parameter is therefore described together with every new filter type.
Modulation of the "Extra" Parameter
The "extra" parameter of the filter types described below may be selected in the modulation
matrix and is designated as F1 Extra . (An abbreviation of "Filter 1 Extra Parameter")
Do not mistake "FM Amount" for filter FM amount. The filter FM amount is the
F1 Extra modulation destination whenever the FM-filter is selected on the Filter 1 / 1
page. The FM Amount destination in the modulation matrix is for oscillator FM.
24db Low Pass and 12dB Low Pass
The low pass types 24dB LP and 12dB LP are suitable for the most usual applications. Use
the 24dB slope if you want to create sounds with a typical audible filtered character, use
the 12dB slope if you want to get softer results.
24db Band Pass and 12dB Band Pass
The band pass filters 24dB BP and 12dB BP remove frequencies both below and above the
cutoff point. As a result, the sound character gets narrow. Use these filter types for
programming effect and percussion-like sounds.
12db High Pass
The high pass filter 12dB HP is useful to thin out a sound's bass frequencies. This may give
interesting results also in conjunction with cutoff frequency modulation. By doing this you
can e.g. "fly-in" a sound starting at its high harmonics and then coming up to its full
frequency range.
Sine Waveshaper with 12dB Low Pass
The Sin(x)>LP Type consists of a sine waveshaper followed by a 12dB low pass filter with
resonance. The sine waveshaper usually adds some harmonics and intermodulation
frequencies to the signal.
