Description

lowresx is equivalent to more layers of lowres with the same arguments serially connected.

Syntax

ares lowresx asig, xcutoff, xresonance [, inumlayer] [, iskip]

Initialization

inumlayer -- number of elements in a lowresx stack. Default value is 4. There is no maximum.

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

xcutoff -- filter cutoff frequency point

xresonance -- resonance amount

lowresx is equivalent to more layer of lowres with the same arguments serially connected. Using a stack of a larger number of filters allows a sharper cutoff. This is faster than using a larger number of instances of lowres in a Csound orchestra because only one initialization and k cycle are needed at time and the audio loop falls entirely inside the cache memory of processor. Based on an orchestra by Hans Mikelson

Examples

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