Re: Filter question

2007-10-30 by malik

wow that's too bad about the DSPs. If you ever program something new. 
would you use those same DSPs again? if yes, why?


cool. i would like to control a sound with 4 different filters at a 
time(i feel like making a track right now!) but my real question was, 
will the quick edit FilterCutoff knob edit the cutoff of all 4 
layers, for each filter that was chosen? or under 1 global filter, if 
that makes sense?

the way up on one and down on the other.  Then, route a controller to 
volume on the one with high Q, essentially fading in the Q layer with 
the knob.  Sounds really good.

have one interpolator, meaning you either get realtime Fc or realtime 
Q.  To do both, you have to continuously pound the chip with new 
filter coefficients and use the interpolator to slam between the 
two.  It doesn't work so well in practice - there were a lot of 
glitches and filter instability.

default knob assignment for the knob you want to use, then hook one 
per layer to the parameter you want to control.
