Filter snap

Let the filter envelope strike each note like a mallet.

High filter-env amount and a quick decay put a percussive “hit” on every key press — useful for leads and bass.

Promise: “I can accent notes with a filter envelope.”

Experiment #10

Filter snap

Let the filter envelope strike each note like a mallet.

1.Play short notes. Each one should flash bright, then darken.
2.Raise FILTER ENV for a harder strike; lower it for a softer accent.
3.Lengthen DECAY so the brightness hangs longer into the note.
4.Park CUTOFF lower so the envelope has somewhere to travel from.

You should hear…

A bright attack blip on every note, then a darker body — like a mallet hitting a resonant tube.

Doesn’t sound right?

No snap? FILTER ENV is near zero, or CUTOFF is already wide open so the envelope has nothing to add.

Try it on your gear

SH-01AENV MOD → filter
TB-3Accent raises filter and volume together
Hydrasynth DeluxeAssign an ENV to filter cutoff

Why it sounds like that

Filter envelopes are accents you can hear. They open the filter on note-on, then fall — the same gesture as amp decay, aimed at tone instead of loudness.
