Compability with the new VCF8 –Dual Band SSI Filter
After installing this update, it is possible to select the VCF8, Dual Band SSI Filter, in
the filter settings menu, and the parameters of this filter will be shown on the
analog filter pages.
This filter has four analog 24dB resonant filters, two that are switchable between HPF
and LPF modes and two that are always in LPF mode. This gives four resonant peaks
in total, and makes this filter ideal for formant sounds. It is also great for bass sounds
and a lot of other sounds. It is based on a bunch of the new great SSI2144 filter chip.
It is organized as two chains of HPF/LPF + LPF in series. The two chains can be
connected in parallel or serial to each other, and they output to each of their filter
output.

After you have installed this filter, you must set it up in the menu's, in order to make
it work properly.
Go to "More..>Common>Filter Settings", and set either filter 1 or 2 to: 8-Dual Band
SSI, depending on in which filter slot you installed it:

Parameters:
HpCut: HPF/LPF 1 and 2 filter cutoff frequency. Space between the 2 filters can be
adjusted with Space.
LpCut: LPF 1 and 2 filter cutoff frequency. Space between the 2 filters can be
adjusted with Space.
Reso: Filter resonance of all 4 filters.
Space: Space between the cutoff frequencies of the two filter chains.
HPF2: HPF2 filter mode HPF or LPF.
HPF1: HPF1 filter mode HPF or LPF.
Conn: Connection of the 2 filter chains. Ser (serial) or Par (parallel).
Out1/2: Mix between filter output 1 (HPF/LPF + LPF chain 1) and filter output 2
(HPF/LPF + LPF chain 2).

Import Multiple Samplings From Directory As one sampling with Chop
points function
This new function will make it easier than ever, to get more than 476 samplings into
your Anamono X! Without splicing samples on a computer!
On your computer:
Make a directory (or folder) on an Anamono X compatible USB drive. Name the
directory with the name, that you want the sampling to have. Copy any single
samplings you would like this sampling to contain, into the directory. Max 64
samplings.
Create multiple such directories, if desired.
Unmount the USB drive from your computer, and insert it in the Anamono X USB
port.

Enter the USB menu, select the directory you just created, and push “Import”.
This screen will now show:
Push “Import Samples As Chops”.
Anamono X will now create one sampling from all of the samplings in the selected
directory, and insert a chop point at the start point of each sampling.
After the import is done, go to the sample rec page, select the sampling you just
imported (named from the directory name), and enter the Chop edit page. You will
now be able to hear each of the samplings, by selecting chops.
On the synth sampler pages, the procedure is the same. Select the sampling, and
select the chop point. Modulate the chop point selection, to create great variation.
I have found this function especially useful, when working with acoustic drum
samplings. There are many acoustic drum sample packs on the net, that has
different variations of the same drum sound. Put all the variations of a sound in one

directory, import as chops, and modulate the chop selection with velocity, random
or any other modulation source, to make some great dynamic acoustic drum beats.

Sample slot select via keyboard splits
Each synth sampler has 4 sample slots, that can each play back their own sampling,
and that has their own settings for Tune, Start, Length and Chop point.
To select which slot should play back, is possible by manual selection, by making a
trigger select a specific slot, and by any modulation source.
Now it is also possible, using keyboard splits!
Set up some triggers, to trig each of their synth sampler, for instance trigger 1 to
sampler 1, trigger 2 to sampler 2 and so on…
In the Trigger>MIDI setup, set up a key range of at least 4 keys for each trigger.
IMPORTANT: The trigger MIDI transpose parameter MUST be set to +0. If not, the
key range of the trigger will be transposed, and it can be a bit hard to figure out
which keys selects what sample slots.
On the synth sampler pages, select different samplings for each of the 4 slots, of
each of the 5 samplers.
