User manual ELECTRIX FILTER

[. . . ] THE ULTIMATE FILTER English v1. 1 CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN A T T E N T I O N : RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE - NE PAS OUVRIR W A R N I N G : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated ìdangerous voltageî within the productís enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within a equilateral triangle is intended to alert the uset to the presence of importat operating and maintenance (sevicing) instruction in the literature accomanying the product. INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSON IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all the instructions before using the product. Do not use this product near water - for example near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or the like. [. . . ] As you sweep the frequency control, try adding some resonance to make the cutoff frequency more audible. " " Filter Engage: This control toggles the filter on and off. Turning this on restarts the LFO or triggers it if it is in single shot mode. Filter Momentary: This switch temporarily engages the stereo filter. Try using it to tap rhythmic patterns while adjusting the frequency knob. Pressing this button also restarts the LFO. Resonance: This controls the level of the peak at the resonant frequency of the filter, i. e. the frequency you dialed in with the frequency knob. FilterFactory was designed to create extreme effects, so be careful because the resonance control is able to cause the filters to self-oscillate at higher settings. Self oscillation produces a loud tone at the resonant frequency. It sounds a lot like sustained feedback. 0 -3 dB Fig. 3: Notch Filter -10 dB -20 Bandwidth 9 English " -30 -40 -50 10 20 30 50 70 100 200 300 500 700 1000 2, 000 3, 000 5, 000 7, 000 10, 000 FREQUENCY Cutoff point Fig. 4: Low Pass Filter 0 -3 dB -10 dB -20 100 Hz Sine wave " -30 Sine wave FilterFactory operates in a Stereo 2 Pole filter per channel mode, ( unless you switch to 4 Pole mode). When FREQUENCY in Four Pole mode, the FilterFactory switches into Mono operation by summing the left and right channels before the 4 pole filter. Depth: This controls the amount the LFO changes the filter frequency. Speed: LFO Speed controls the period of the LFO waveforms by changing the frequency of the LFO. The LFO Frequency range covers 0. 1 Hz to 100 Hz for subtle to extreme effects. Division: The LFO rate, as defined by Tap Tempo or MIDI clock can be divided (or doubled) using this control. The actual rate is indicated by the flashing tempo LED. Waveforms " " " " GLOBAL " Effect Mix: Controls the Mix of the Buzz and Filter Sections in relation to your dry signal. 0% is all dry, or the same as bypassing the FilterFactory. 100% will be all FilterFactory and none of your dry signal. Bypass: Bypasses both effect blocks. " UNDERSTANDING THE PRODUCT 2. 3 BACK PANEL " Power input: This input will accept an IEC standard power cable. The internal power supply can be used in any region. [. . . ] This could be a great convenience for you if have a Drum Machine or Groovebox to sync to. Just set up your MIDI clock source to transmit MIDI clock, connect a MIDI cable from the source's MIDI OUT to the FilterFactory's MIDI in and press start on your MIDI clock source. Note: The LFO speed control overrides the Tap Tempo and the incoming MIDI clock tempo. That means if you adjust it you will loose sync to your Tap Tempo / MIDI Tempo. [. . . ]
