   p3 (amplitude), p4 (type), p6 (pan), p7 (bypass), p8 (freq), p9 (Q)
   and p10 (gain) can receive dynamic updates from a table or real-time
   control source.  p4 (type) can be updated only when using numeric codes.

A standard 'biquad' DSP filter algorithm is used to build these different types of filters.

In addition to the filter frequency and gain, the 'Q' ("FILTQ", p9) can be used to determine how 'steep' the filter will be. Filter parameters are interpreted depening on what type of filter (p4) is selected.

The MULTEQ instrument allows for the processing of multiple bands, each (up to 8) a separate instantiation of EQ.

The output of EQ can be either mono or stereo.



Sample Scores

very basic:

   rtsetparams(44100, 2)
   load("EQ")
   
   rtinput("mystereofile.wav")
   inskip = 0
   dur = DUR()
   amp = 0.6
   bypass = 0
   type = "lowshelf"
   freq = 500
   Q = 3.0
   gain = 6.0
   
   EQ(0, inskip, dur, amp, type, 0, 1, bypass, freq, Q, gain)
   EQ(0, inskip, dur, amp, type, 1, 0, bypass, freq, Q, gain)

   rtsetparams(44100, 2)
   load("EQ")
   
   rtinput("mysound.aiff")
   inskip = 0
   dur = DUR()
   
   start = 2
   amp = 1
   bypass = 0
   
   //type = "lowpass"
   type = "highpass"
   //type = "lowshelf"
   //type = "highshelf"
   //type = "peaknotch"
   
   pan = maketable("line", 100, 0,1, 1,0)
   freq = makeconnection("mouse", "x", min=200, max=2000, dflt=min, lag=50,
   			"freq", "Hz", 1)
   Q = 1.0
   gain = makeconnection("mouse", "y", min=-30, max=20, dflt=0, lag=50,
   			"gain", "dB", 1)
   
   EQ(start, inskip, dur, amp, type, inchan=0, pan, bypass, freq, Q, gain)
