Auto Filter is a sweeping filter that moves based on the BPM. The FXGlide™ Button Strip gives you 5 different sweep lengths, from 16 beats (16/1) to 1 beat (1/1). Pressing WET/DRY will give you control over the ratio of effect audio to “normal” audio. This is good if you want to make the effect a little more subtle. Pressing the PARAM button will give you control over the amount of resonance in the Auto Filter. A lot of resonance will make the effect much more noticeable, adding high frequency harmonics at the top of the sweep and low frequency harmonics at the bottom.

There are 3 filters available under the manual filters – the Manual Filter, Hi-Pass Filter, and Low-Pass Filter. To scroll between them, hold down the M.FILTER button.

The Manual Filter is a variable notch filter that sweeps as you move your finger across the FXGlide™ Slider Strip. It gives you a 20 kHz (top) to 5 Hz (bottom) sweep range. Like the Auto Filter, this filter offers resonance via the PARAM button, and WET/DRY adjustment.

Hi-Pass

The High-Pass Filter rolls off frequencies lower than the point indicated in the LCD screen. So, if the value in the LCD is 2.75 kHz, then only frequencies above that are being heard. PARAM offers resonance, and WET/DRY handles effect mixing.

Low-Pass

This works the same way as the Hi-Pass filter does, but instead only allows frequencies below the indicated frequency to be heard. The PARAM and WET/DRY controls work the same as the other Manual Filter effects.
