In this episode we get into the heart of crafting sound in synthesis, filtering. There are a wide variety of filters in synthesis, but in the beginning it is good to start off witht he high pass filter and the low pass filters, which the VCF module in VCV Rack can perform. We take a look at controlling the cut off frequency, adjusting the resonance, and using drive in order to achieve a wide variety of timbres for our sound. We look at controlling these parameters with MIDI as well as an LFO. As usual, we also look at some more approaches to making our signal flow leaner using a patch contributed by a viewer named Frank who has been contributing his knowledge to the series. This results in creative uses for the OCT and MUTES modules. Additionally, we see how to color code our cables for signal types.
