Overview
Cascade of second order filters. High precision implementation
Discussion
This module implements a general purpose second order cascaded filter that is capable of realizing many different filter types. The module performs internal smoothing allowing the filters to be updated without introducing clicks. In all cases, the module implements an underlying second order filter. First order filters are realized by setting some of the second order coefficients to zero.
The behavior of the filter is controlled by the filterType parameter. filterType is an integer in the range from 0 to 14 inclusive. After specifying filterType, set you adjust the filter parameters by setting the fields .gain, .freq, and .Q. Some filter types use only a subset of these parameters and ignore the others.
The following table discusses the various filter types and which variables are active in each case. The .freq variable controls the center frequency of the filter; .gain determines the boost or cut, in dB; .Q determines how sharp the filter is. Low .Q values lead to broad filters. High .Q values lead to narrow filters.
filterType = 0, Simple pass through with unity gain.
filterType = 1, Gain in dB [.gain].
filterType = 2, 1st order Butterworth low pass filter [.freq]
filterType = 3, 2nd order Butterworth low pass filter [.freq]
filterType = 4, 1st order Butterworth high pass filter [.freq]
filterType = 5, 2nd order Butterworth high pass filter [.freq]
filterType = 6, 1st order allpass filter [.freq]
filterType = 7, 2nd order allpass filter [.freq, .Q]
filterType = 8, 2nd order low shelf. It allows you to vary the gain of the low frequencies. The high frequencies have a gain of 1.0. [.freq, .gain].
filterType = 9, 2nd order low shelf w/Q. It allows you to vary the gain of the low frequencies. The high frequencies have a gain of 1.0. This module also has an adjustable Q parameter. [.freq, .gain, .Q].
filterType = 10, 2nd order high shelf. It allows you to vary the gain of the high frequencies. The low frequencies have a gain of 1.0. [.freq, .gain].
filterType = 11, 2nd order high shelf w/Q. It allows you to vary the gain of the high frequencies. The low frequencies have a gain of 1.0. This module also has an adjustable Q parameter. [.freq, .gain, .Q].
filterType = 12, 2nd order peaking filter. It has unity gain except around the specified frequency. By varying .gain, you can get a peak or a notch in the frequency band. [.freq, .gain, .Q].
filterType = 13, 2nd order notch filter. It has unity gain except around the specified frequency. At the specified frequency, the filter has a true notch with -inf dB gain. [.freq, .Q].
filterType = 14, 2nd order bandpass filter. It has unity gain at the specified frequency and falls off in both directions. The bandwidth of the filter is determined by Q. [.freq, .Q]
filterType = 15, 1st order Bessel low pass filter [.freq]
filterType = 16, 1st order Bessel low pass filter [.freq]
filterType = 17, 1st order asymmetrical low shelf [.freq, .gain]
filterType = 18, 1st order asymmetrical high shelf [.freq, .gain]
filterType = 19, 1st order symmetrical low shelf [.freq, .gain]
filterType=20, 1st order symmetrical high shelf. [freq, gain].
filterType=21, 2nd order Butterworth low pass filter with variable Q. [freq, Q].
filterType=22, 2nd order Butterworth high pass filter with variable Q. [freq, Q].
