Filter Cutoff Sweep programing

22 Oct 2020, 21:34

I've had the integra 7 for quite a while but I'm just now getting to try and get to know it properly. Also, I'm a newb when it comes to synthesis so bare with me. I'm reading the parameter manual now trying to figure everything out. I haven't gotten to the lfo or pcm stuff yet which looks completely daunting. Right now, I just want to do a basic thing and that's make a simple pad where the filter starts closed and then gradually starts to open. Is this possible without aftertouch? I feel like this is a really simple/stupid question but how do I achieve this? I'm using the supernatural engine right now. The pcm seemed to be a little too advanced for me atm. Any tips?

My first go-to is always the General MIDI CC values for filter and cutoff.

From the MIDI Implementation Chart:

❍■Resonance (Controller number 71)
❍■Cutoff (Controller number 74)

IIRC these are the standard GM values.

Assuming you are working with SN synth, to keep it simple enable only one partial.
Then, lower the filter cutoff (eg. 12), increase the Env Attack (e.g. 127) and increase the Env Depth (e.g.+63).

With the filter cutoff you set up how closed the filter starts;
with the env attack you regulate how fast the filter opens
and with the env depth you regulate how much the filter opens

Have fun :)

Good call, mate.

I thought he wanted to automate the cutoff value.

omg thank you so much for explaining this like I'm 5! Exactly what I was looking for!
