General Information
The Audio Weaver Filters folder lists over 60 filters. They have been broken down according to user needs, with the folder labels Adaptive, Calculated Coeffs, Controllable, High Precision, Raw Coeffs, and list the most commonly used filters. The Adaptive folder contains the LMS module, an adaptive filter with tracking capabilities. For those users less experienced with designing filters, the Calculated Coeffs filters take in frequency information, Q, Gain, and type, similar to tuning a filter in a DAW. Users with more DSP background can use the Raw Coeffs filters to tune filters with mathematical information. The most frequently used filters are the ButterworthFilter (highpass, lowpass, allpass), SecondOrderFilterSmoothed, with 20 different filter types, and the SecondOrderFilterSmoothedCascade: multiple 2nd order filters in series.

 | FIR
| Time domain FIR filter Specify filter length in module properties |
 | Biquad
| Second order IIR filter. 5 filter coefficients are specified. No smoothing. |
 | BiquadCascade
| Multiple Biquad filters in series. The number of filters is specified in module properties. The same coefficients are used per channel. |
 | BiquadSmoothed
| Second order IIR filter. 5 filter coefficients are specified. Smoothed on a block-by-block basis |
 | BiquadNCascade
| Multiple Biquad filters in series. The number of filters is specified in module properties. Different coefficients are used per channel. |
 | FIR Sparse
| Sparse FIR filter in which most values are zero. Less convolution cycles than normal FIR |
  | FIR Sparse Reader
| Sparse FIR that connects to a delay state writer. Convolution is based on a pointer rather than a separate FIR buffer.
|
  | FIR Sparse Reader Fract16
| Like FIR Sparse Reader except half the memory. Data is converted to fract16 for computations and has a conversion for the output if necessary. |

The High Precision modules are designed to be drop in replacements for the non-high precision filters. That way, numerical problems can be resolved by replacing the offending filter with its high precision version.
  | BiqudSmoothedHP | Smoothly varying Biquad |
  | ButterworthFilterHP | Butterworth lowpass, highpass, and allpass filters |
  | BiquadCascadeHP | Cascade of N Biquad stages |
  | GraphicEQBandHP | Single band of a graphic equalizer |
  | SOFControlHP | Controllable second order filter with design equations |
  | SOFCascadeHP | Cascade of second order filters each with design equations |
  | SecondOrderFilterHP | Single second order filter with design equations |
  | VolumeControlHP | Fletcher Munson volume control with loudness compensation |

This module contains several SecondOrderFilterSmoothed modules in series. This can be used to implement a more complicated EQ with only a single module. Under module properties, specify the number of stages of filtering. If the number of stages is set to 1, then this module is equivalent to the SecondOrderFilterSmoothed module. When there are multiple stages, the inspector expands as shown right:
