ES2 Filter 1 modes in MainStage

Filter 1 can operate in several modes, allowing specific frequency bands to be filtered (cut away) or emphasized.

Click one of the following filter mode buttons for Filter 1:

• Lo (lowpass): Allow frequencies that fall below the cutoff frequency to pass. The slope of Filter 1 is fixed at 12 dB/octave.

• Hi (highpass): Allow frequencies above the cutoff frequency to pass. The slope of Filter 1 is fixed at 12 dB/octave.

• Peak: Filter 1 works as a peak filter. This allows the level in a frequency band to be increased. The center of the frequency band is determined by the Cutoff parameter. The width of the band is controlled by the Resonance parameter.

• BR (band reject): The frequency band directly surrounding the cutoff frequency is rejected, but frequencies outside this band can pass. The Resonance parameter controls the width of the rejected frequency band.

• BP (bandpass): The frequency band directly surrounding the cutoff frequency is allowed to pass. All other frequencies are cut. The Resonance parameter controls the width of the frequency band. The bandpass filter is a two-pole filter with a slope of 6 dB/octave on each side of the center frequency.
