Spread

The SPREAD control in Trilian’s Filter is not typically found on most synthesizers. Since Trilian’s filter is stereo, the SPREAD control can move the cutoff frequency in one direction on one side of the stereo field while moving it in the opposite direction in the other side of the stereo field.

For example, the filter would be opening on the right channel while closing on the left channel. This can create unique panning effects that are more dramatic than the standard audio panning approach — particularly when SPREAD is modulated.

Range: L to R

NOTE: Unlike the other filters, the Power filter is not a pair of L/R mono filters. Instead, it’s a stereo filter with no spread capability. In the case of the Power Filter, the Spread control does the same function as the Width control in the Power Filter effect unit.
