Description

lowres is a resonant lowpass filter.

Syntax

ares lowres asig, kcutoff, kresonance [, iskip]

Initialization

iskip -- initial disposition of internal data space. A zero value will clear the space; a non-zero value will allow previous information to remain. The default value is 0.

Performance

asig -- input signal

kcutoff -- filter cutoff frequency point

kresonance -- resonance amount

lowres is a resonant lowpass filter derived from a Hans Mikelson orchestra. This implementation is much faster than implementing it in Csound language, and it allows kr lower than sr. kcutoff is not in Hz and kresonance is not in dB, so experiment for the finding best results.

Examples

Here is an example of the lowres opcode. It uses the file lowres.csd.
