Re: 1V/Oct on filter

2009-12-16 by John P

Hmm. I thought the point of expo filter tracking was to have all the notes sound the same. The body of an acoustic instrument
acts as a fixed filter bank, one that does not change with pitch.

If the 1V/Oct inputs on an oscillator and a (e.g. low pass) filter track the same source, you’ll notice the filter opens up as the pitch increases, and the filter closes down as the pitch decreases. This translates to higher pitches sounding “brighter” and lower pitches sounding “darker” – i.e. it sounds very natural to our ears and approximates the behavior of acoustic instruments.
