Power Filter

The Power Filter was developed in cooperation with GMedia and is based on their famous impOSCar filter design. This rich-sounding filter requires a fair amount of CPU power and should be used sparingly on slower computer systems. It’s the same Power Filter as the one in the Filter section, but with more filter types and an additional dedicated LFO for sweeping the width, which is useful for producing formant and vowel sweeps.

!The Power Filter has tremendous headroom and is capable of very loud sounds that can hurt your ears and damage your speakers if you aren’t careful. GMedia’s warning that it “Screams like a Bastard” should be heeded! Please be mindful of this when working with the Resonance, Drive, and Gain knobs.

PAGE ONE CONTROLS

• CUTOFF
  Controls the cutoff frequency of the Filter.
  Range: 17.125 to 18318 Hz

• RES
  Controls the Resonance or “Q” of the Filter, which emphasizes the cutoff frequency to the point of oscillation at the highest settings.

• WIDTH
  Controls the amount of Frequency separation between the filters.
  Range: 0 to 1

• TYPE
  Drop-down menu determines the sonic character of the different filter options.
  Low Pass 24 dB, Band Pass 24 dB, High Pass 24 dB, LP/LP, BP/BP, HP/HP, LP/BP, LP/HP, BP/HP

• DRIVE
  Controls the amount of overdrive / saturation.
  Range: 0 to 1

• LEVEL
  Adjusts the overall output.
  Range: 0 to 1
