Filter Type List
LowPass1 Low-pass filter #1.
(A low-pass filter blocks out all frequencies above the cutoff frequency.)
LowPass2 Low-pass filter #2. Offers much higher Q (resonance) than low-pass filter #1.
LowPass3 The characteristics of this low-pass filter are somewhere between LowPass1 and
LowPass2.
HiPass1 High-pass filter #1.
(A high-pass filter blocks out all frequencies below the cutoff frequency.)
HiPass2 High-pass filter #2. Offers much higher Q (resonance) than high-pass filter #1.
BandPass Band-pass filter. (Allows only frequencies near the cutoff frequency to pass;
blocks out all higher and lower frequencies.)
BandElim Band-elimination filter. (Blocks out the frequency range around the cutoff
frequency, while allowing higher and lower frequencies to pass.)
Peak1 A filter with an emphasis peak at the cutoff frequency.
Peak2 With this filter the original sound is mixed with the sound of the Peak1 filter.
2Peaks A combination of two peaking filters.
2Dips A combination of two band elimination filters.
DualLPFs A combination of two low-pass filters.
LPF+Peak A combination of a low-pass filter and a peaking filter.
DualHPFs A combination of two high-pass filters.
HPF+Peak A combination of a high-pass filter and a peaking filter.
LPF+HPF A combination of a low-pass filter and a high-pass filter.
