moogladder

moogladder — Moog ladder lowpass filter.

Description

Moogladder is an new digital implementation of the Moog ladder filter based on the work of Antti Huovilainen, described in the paper "Non-Linear Digital Implementation of the Moog Ladder Filter" (Proceedings of DaFX04, Univ of Napoli). This implementation is probably a more accurate digital representation of the original analogue filter.

Syntax

asig moogladder ain, kcf, kres[, istor]
asig moogladder ain, acf, kres[, istor]
asig moogladder ain, kcf, ares[, istor]
asig moogladder ain, acf, ares[, istor]

Initialization

istor --initial disposition of internal data space. Since filtering incorporates a feedback loop of previous output, the initial status of the storage space used is significant. 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.

kcf/acf -- filter cutoff frequency

kres/ares -- resonance, generally < 1, but not limited to it. Higher than 1 resonance values might cause aliasing, analogue synths generally allow resonances to be above 1.

Examples

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