I'm still trying to get a full grasp on what "Filters" actually do, aside from cutting out some freqs & make some cool tweaky sounds. KVR's WiKi says the resonance is like an Eq's "Q", except it adds an extra hump next to the freq config at extreme res settings. Aside from that, are filters the same as shelving EQs? I understand EQs pretty well.

Diagrams, or links to diagrams would help me too.

cheers

I would say that a filter is a simplified EQ. So you can for example build a complete Param-EQ from some band pass filter, that's quite easy...

Here is an example: http://music-drive.com/param_eq.osm

I'd actually say that EQ's are a subset of filters. EQ is a type of filter, not the other way around, no?

Thanks I was a bit confused; the Parmetric EQ is the "Effects" folder, not Filters.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
