Access C High-Pass??
 

Hey! I've just traded my Nova and my K-Station to get the Virus C and I'm kinda wondering about the filter on the Virus...I'm looking for that distorted, screeching, almost-white noise effect on the high-pass that I've heard done by the Novation gear and my Filter Factory...is this possible on the Virus?? I make drum'n'bass and I'm looking for that ripping hard-on-the-ears, lots-of-resonance high-pass filtering that alot of artists use on the drums or bassline....I just got it yesterday so I'm still learning it but I just hope I didn't make a mistake...I've always heard about how amazing the Virus sounds and how they have the best digital filters out there but I can't seem to get the high-pass intensity I am looking for...is there a rough, deafening high-pass in there ready to tear apart my bassline?? Thanks, Brett

realy cant see the words high pass and bassline going side by side,would you mind linking us up with a short clip?

If the Novation can do it, the Virus will shred it to bits! You've got a killer synth mate, give it some time and learn to use it, Im sure you wont be dissapointed!

Im still a novice too.....sorry couldnt give more specific details, but Im sure someone on here can help out

Good luck!

Well...I have played with it more and the more I use it the better it sounds...the filters are definately SMOOTH so far...you don't hear ANY stepping so that's good but I'm still looking for that sharp high-pass sound...

Well, a dead cert' is using the white noise oscillator and colouring it to fit. There are a multitude of things you can do with the filters, like have them work in series, offset-series, dual mix, split, and each filter type will have a largely different impact, and each can have seperate resonances. Add filter-env on each for depth. The saturation stage that is routed inbetween the two filters would also be worth checking out to experiment with different saturation distortion curves. Try band-pass as well as high pass, as band pass is more 'selected' and you can enhance the particular frequencies that mix best with the similarly grouped parts.

ie.:- layering two bass sounds - one with plenty of low end grit, and another punchy high/band-passed one - work well. Use Multi mode for this.
