The exponential filter is a typical [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-pass_filter low pass filter]. The magic Euler number and the associated mathematical function exp() plays a major role here. As the name implies, lower frequencies can pass this filter while higher frequencies are cut. The frequency where only half of the input signal reaches the output is called cutoff frequency. This cutoff frequency is defined by the parameter <syntaxhighlight lang="xml" inline><filter-time></syntaxhighlight> and resolves as cutoff-frequency = 1/(2*pi*cutoff-frequency).

The <code><filter-time></code> also supports <code><property></code> and <code><expression></code>s to make the filter time variable.
The <code><filter-time></code> also supports <code><property></code> and <code><expression></code>s to make the filter time variable. Also, you can define several <code><filter-time></code> elements and select between them by <code><condition></code> inside each filter-time tag.
