Band pass, notch and all pass

FiltersBANDPASS · NOTCH · ALLPASS

A band pass keeps a band around its frequency and turns down both sides; a notch takes that band out and keeps the rest. Their width is in octaves. An all pass keeps every level as it is and moves only the phase: on its own it changes little, against the dry sound it makes the notches of a phaser.

WHAT TO KNOW

THE WIDTH

BP Width and Notch Wi are octaves: 0.3 a narrow band, 3 a wide one. The response's peak (or hole) is at the frequency.

TWIN PEAKS

TWIN PEAKS W/SEP places two band passes Sep apart around the frequency, each with its own width: two formants in four blocks.

USE IT FOR

A telephone or radio sound, a formant, a wah (the band moved by a pedal); a notch to tame one partial; an all pass mixed with the dry sound for phasing.

WATCH OUT

A narrow band on a low note may land between partials: little comes out. Widen it, or track it with the key.

IN THE FACTORY PROGRAMS

BANDPASS in 222 layers (median 277 Hz, 0.8 octaves wide), NOTCH in 148 (784 Hz), the all passes in 170.
