EDIT PROGRAM - SINGLE
Page 110 CD3000XL OperatorÕs Manual
The fields on the FILTER 2 page are as follows:
The parameters across the top of the page follow the usual convention and allow you to select
the keygroup for editing, select whether you wish to edit just one keygroup or all keygroups
simultaneously and, of course, you can select another program for editing if you wish.
The other fields on this page are:
This shows the current keygroup’s key range.
When lowpass, band pass and highpass filters are selected,
this allows you to set the filters cutoff frequency. When EQ is
selected, this control sets the EQ band’s centre frequency.
Here you may set the keyboard to track the filter. This is so that
you can achieve an even tone across the keyboard range.
+12 is the default and this tracks the filter octave for octave -
i.e. for every shift of pitch of one octave, there is an according
shift in harmonics.
This allows you to sharpen the point at the cutoff frequency
thereby emphasising the harmonics at that point. The sound
changes from a soft ‘waaa’ effect to the characteristic ‘weeow’
effect with high resonance settings. The range is 0-31. High
resonance settings can be used for classic synth sounds and,
simply by sampling raw synth waveforms (i.e. without using the
synths filter, etc.), these may be used as the basis for some
powerful synth sounds through these filters.
NOTE: The resonance control functions differently when EQ is selected. When EQ is
selected, a value of 16 is no cut or boost. Raising the resonance above 16 will boost the
selected cutoff frequency and lowering it below 16 will cut the selected cutoff frequency. You
will, therefore, experience a tonal change when you switch from LP, BP or HP to EQ. For
example, if a value of 16 is set for the resonance on the other three filters, this will be flat when
you select EQ. Similarly, if a value of 0 is set on the other three filters, this will cause the cutoff
frequency to be cut when you select EQ.
This parameters allows you to select the filter mode of your
choice and the selection possibilities are LP (lowpass), BP
(bandpass), HP (highpass) and EQ. For details on these
different filter types, please see the description given above.
This parameter allows you to bypass the second filter and tone
section if you wish. You may use this parameter to quickly
bypass the settings of the second filter and tone control
section to make A/B comparisons.
NOTE 1: With this parameter set to ON, the polyphony of the S3200 is restricted to 30
voices. If OFF is selected, the second filter and tone section are bypassed, and the S3200 may
operate with 32 voices.
NOTE 2: The setting of this parameter relates to both the second filter and tone section.
This allows you to switch in a -6dB pad. This is included to
overcome the possibility of distortion should the resonance
be set quite high, boosting the sound into overload.
