Filter: 
Eight Filter types
Two ‘Standard’ filters are 2-pole state variable filters, based on the resonant filter found in other Modal synthesisers, morphing through: LP > BP > HP or LP > Notch > HP
Two ‘Classic’ 2-Pole state variable with a more rounded character and a softer resonance response, morphing through: LP > BP > HP
‘Ladder’ – 4 pole resonant ladder filter with pre-filter drive, morphing through: LP > BP > HP
‘Ladder Hybrid’ – 1 pole resonant ladder filter with pre-filter drive, morphing through: LP + Notch > Notch > HP + Notch
‘Ladder Phaser’ – Resonant ladder filter with pre-filter drive, morphing through: Notch > Phaser
‘Sallen-Key’ – 2 pole resonant Sallen-Key Filter with pre-filter drive, morphing through: LP > BP
