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 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 Filter 1 cutoff frequency is rising, the cutoff of Filter 2 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 bandwidth.

Filter Blend

(FltBlend) modulates the Filter Blend parameter. See Crossfade between ES2 filters.
