56 6 Programs The Pre Filter Mix The outputs of the oscillators, as well as a few other signal sources, are fed into a virtual mixing board called the Pre Filter Mix. The job of this mixer is to funnel all of these sources into the inputs of the next sound processing stage—the filters. For each source, you can specify its level, which is how loud it should be, and its balance, which determines how much of it goes to Filter 1 and how much to Filter 2. The Filters The sound produced by the oscillators is very raw, and usually not suitable to be used directly in an instrument. In order to bring out the sonic textures you have in mind, you will typically want to dampen certain harmonics and boost others. This is where the filters come in. Filters alter the frequency content of the signal, and can have a drastic effect on the sound. A filter typically allows you to adjust its cutoff frequency, which represents the range of harmonics that the filter operates on, as well as its resonance, which determines how much boost is given to harmonics around the cutoff frequency. Each of the Micron’s voices contains two filters, and each filter can be one of eighteen different types, each with its own character and sonic flavor. The Post Filter Mix The outputs of the filters need their own virtual mixing board as well, and that’s what the Post Filter Mix is for. For each filter output, as well as a pre filter signal of your choice, you can specify a level, which is how loud it should be, and a pan, which determines how much goes to your left speaker and how much to the right.
Output The sound is getting near the end of its journey, but still has one more processing stage to go through. In the output stage, the Micron allows you to apply a drive effect, to give the sound a final push and add some compression, distortion, or other amplification effect. You also get to choose the overall level for the sound, as well as how much of it gets sent to the Micron’s dedicated effects processor. Signal Flow Diagram 6 Programs 57
