Anyone crank the hell outta the z plane filters for crazy bass distortion? Anyone know if this is alright to do this or is it bad on the equipment? Obviously, I would just use it for sampling (ahem) purposes out through a mixer into my computer to drop back on the sampler, not in multi mode or anything. It sounds pretty cool, not like digitally clipping it in a software enviroment, although, this is really what is happening. What do you think?

pardon my newbieness, but i was wondering which filters actually constitute "z-plane"? i'm super new to my E4. also, what did you tweak to get this effect.
sorry, this reply answers your question in absolutely no way.

No problem! I believe the Z Plane filters consist of any of the filters that have the morph parameter. Pretty sure they are the last 4 filters when you are scrolling through. Not sure if the E4 Ultra has a few more or not.

To get this effect, basically I boosted every gain in the filter, and then messed with morph. Don't remember exact values though.

edit: don't worry, the only thing it will ruin is people's pants - when they piss themselves from hearing teh hottness.

thanks for the reply. just worried that it wasn't good for the sampler.

you are probably in more danger of damaging your monitors from rippign a sound too loud thru the desk or worse still your eardrums
