ES2 filter modulation targets

The table outlines all filter-related modulation targets.

Target

Comments

Cutoff 1

Modulates the Cutoff Frequency parameter of Filter 1. See Filter cutoff and resonance overview.

Resonance 1

(Reso 1) Modulates the Resonance parameter of Filter 1.

Cutoff 2

Modulates the Cutoff Frequency parameter of Filter 2.

Resonance 2

(Reso 2) Modulates the Resonance parameter of Filter 2.

LPF FM

Determines the intensity of the lowpass filter frequency modulation (LPF FM) of Filter 2—with a sine wave (at the same frequency as oscillator 1). This parameter is described in Modulate ES2’s Filter 2 Frequency.

Cut 1+2

Modulates the cutoff frequency of both filters in parallel. This is like applying the same modulation to Cutoff 1 and Cutoff 2 in two modulation routings.

Cut1inv2

Cut1inv2 (Cutoff 1 normal and Cutoff 2 inverse) simultaneously modulates the cutoff frequencies of the first and second filters inversely (in opposite directions). Put another way, when the first filter’s cutoff frequency is rising, the cutoff of the second filter falls, and vice versa.

In cases where you have combined Filter 1, defined as a highpass filter, and Filter 2 in serial mode, both act as a bandpass filter. Modulating the Cut1 inv 2 target results in a modulation of the bandpass filter’s bandwidth in this scenario.

Filter Blend

(FltBlend) modulates the Filter Blend parameter. See Cross-fade between ES2 filters.
