A TIP: Another very useful RG function is to rhythmically turn on and
off the output of an individual filter. To do this, set the filter’s gain to
-infinity and patch a Rhythm Generator to the filter’s gain with a
Modulation Amount of +100. The filter will be silent during empty cells
and audible during filled cells. You can then fine tune the On volume
by adjusting the Modulation Amount.

When a Rhythm Generator is assigned to trigger an Envelope, it...

OUTPUT LEVEL
Use the Output Level knob to set Filter’s main output level. In most cases,
start by setting the highest level that does not result in clipping. The
numeric display will indicate in dBs the exact amount of gain applied.
You may also click in the numeric display and type in the desired value.
Option (Mac)/Alt (PC) clicking the knob will reset the value to 0dB.

Chapter 4: About the Factory Presets
When you install Filter you will also get a generous collection of factory
presets designed to provide examples of many of the things that you can
do with Filter, from subtle harmonic sweetening to all-out wackification.
While our sound designers have tried to design their presets around
general audio categories (voice, guitar, drum loops, pads etc.), there’s no
way they can predict the specific audio you will be processing with Filter.
With that in mind, we offer...

•If a preset’s Master Tempo is set to MIDI, be sure that your host is
correctly configured to send MIDI clock to Filter. If it’s not getting MIDI
clock (i.e., the MIDI Clock indicator is not lit), the preset will not
function as it was designed to.
•If a preset is not synced to your host’s MIDI clock but makes use of
tempo-synced LFOs, Delays, Rhythm Generators or Envelopes, you may
have to readjust the internal Master Tempo for the best effect with
your particular audio.

Chapter 5: Fun Facts About Sturgeons
•Long considered a nuisance fish and hated by commercial fishermen
for the damage they did to nets, the once lowly sturgeon has finally
achieved status as a top game fish. Prized by the angler for its strength
and speed, gourmets and backyard chefs alike have come to savor its
firm flesh.
•Instead of scales, sturgeon have tough skin and rows of bony plates
called scutes.
•Sturgeons are the most primitive of the bony fishes (family Acipenseridae)
alive today, modern...
