FILTER ZOOM – Offsets

 

CUTOFF OFFSET

 

The Filter Cutoff settings affect both FILTER 1 and FILTER 2.  The CUTOFF OFFSET counterbalances the Cutoff for FILTER1 and FILTER2 independently.  These are not separate filters controls; they simply increase or decrease the Cutoff frequency of that particular Filter Type, relative to the primary Cutoff control.

When the slider is centered in the middle, there is no offset to the Filter Cutoff.  Moving the control to the right increases the Filter Cutoff and moving it to the left decreases the cutoff.

 

RESONANCE OFFSET

 

 

As Filter Resonance settings affect both FILTER 1 and FILTER 2, the RES OFFSET (meaning Resonance Offset) allows the depth of the resonance for FILTER1 and FILTER2 to be set independently.  This control decreases or increases the amount of Resonance of that particular Filter Type.

When the slider is centered in the middle, there is no offset to the Filter Resonance.  Moving the slider to the right increases the Filter Resonance and setting it farther left decreases the Resonance.

 

SPREAD OFFSET

 

As both of Omnisphere’s filters are stereo, they are both capable of offsetting their stereo position with this control.  Like the other Offset controls in Filter Zoom, this counterbalances the setting of the primary control, in this case is the Spread control.

 

NOTE: Since Spread moves the cutoff between Right and Left, the Spread Offset can counteract the Spread’s setting for each Filter if moved in the opposite direction
