FILTER ZOOM – Filter Type

 

 

The Filter Type menu allows you to select the actual Filter algorithm to be used in Filter 1 or Filter 2.  Omnisphere comes with a wide range of filter types.  Each of the two stereo filters has the same twentyfour filter types available.

Because of the flexible dual-filter system in Omnisphere, these different filter types can be combined, routed in series or parallel, allowing for hundreds of possible filter configurations.

The extent to which the frequencies are removed is based on the roll-off slope (measured in dB) of the filter type.  This means a Lowpass filter with a 24dB roll-off is going to allow less sound to pass through than a filter with a 12dB roll-off.

Once a customized filter configuration has been created, the settings can be saved as a Filter Preset and loaded it from the FILTERS section on the EDIT overview page.

Notch

Frequencies pass thru a narrow ‘notch’, also known as a ‘band-reject’ filter
 

Allpass

All frequencies are passed equally, but it changes the phase relationship between the frequencies.
