[sdiy] Resonator type filters

[Ian Fritz]

Ah ha!  Many thanks, Brian. I read through the manual and don't see 
anything about a straight standard FB. Do you just feed the source 
material into both of the vocoder inputs or something?  I'll definitely 
download it and see what I can figure out.

The spacing of the classic frequency bands can be shifted, stretched, or compressed in various ways. The other combined effects, like MIDI-controlled pitch shifting, help process the incoming audio to get it into shape for the format filter section. You might have to look around for some demos.

If not for that, I would look through the Virta presets to see if there are any string synth filter setups that would help get you started. There is a thread on the Madrona Labs Software forum for Virta presets that might be a help.

I do the hardware design, firmware development, and USB protocol drivers for such products as the Soundplane and the imminent Euro rack module. I am not involved in the software plugins, but their sales do fund my hardware designs indirectly, so one could argue that I have a conflict of interest. That said, I did play around with the plugin for a while when it was first released and it seems very powerful - far more than I think can be thrown together with a ton of building blocks from any other sound processing product.
