So, what is a pinged filter? It consists of two elements: an “exciter” — which is a just a brief burst of noise or sound — and a resonant filter, often a bandpass. It is a pretty simple “complete voice,” but it has a distinct timbre and decay that mimics aspects of acoustic instruments fairly well, due to the characteristics of the resonating filter. If you’ve ever heard of physical modeling synthesis, a pinged filter could be considered one of the simplest methods of achieving physical modeling of struck or tapped materials.
And it’s really just a few elements — a noise or oscillator module, a VCA, an ADSR, and a filter, making it an easy, cost-effective way to add some different sounds to your ZOIA repertoire.
I find this incredibly quiet through a guitar amp. How would I adjust the output volume to be higher? Thanks
