MOOGVCF -- 24dB/octave resonant lowpass filter
in RTcmix/insts/jg

quick syntax:
MOOGVCF(outsk, insk, dur, AMP, inputchan, PAN, BYPASS, FILTFREQTABLE, FILTRESONTABLE) 

   p0 = output start time (seconds)
   p1 = input start time (seconds)
   p2 = input duration (seconds)
   p3 = amplitude multiplier (relative multiplier of input signal)
   p4 = input channel
   p5 = pan (0-1 stereo; 0.5 is middle)
   p6 = bypass filter (0: bypass off, 1: bypass on) (usually use 0)
   p7 = filter cutoff frequency (Hz)
   p8 = filter resonance (0-1, 1 is more resonant.  > 1.0 will self-oscillate)

   p3 (amplitude), p5 (pan), p6 (bypass), p7 (cutoff) and p8 (resonance) can
   receive dynamic updates from a table or real-time control source.

   This is based on the design by Stilson and Smith (CCRMA), as modified
   by Paul Kellett  (described in the source code archives at musicdsp.org).


MOOGVCF duplicates the famous "Moog" lowpass filter.



Usage Notes

One of the characteristics of this filter is a sharp resonant peak at the lowpass cutoff frequency. The sharpness is determined by the "FILTRESONTABLE" pfield (p8). Values > 1.0 will cause self-oscillation of the filter, producing a tone at the lowpass cutoff frequency.

The setting of the amplitude multiplier (p3, "AMP") can be a little tricky. If the filter saturates (clips), it will 'explode' (i.e. produce an infinite output -- the result is no sound).

MOOGVCF can produce either stereo or mono output.



Sample Scores

very basic: 

   rtsetparams(44100, 2)
   load("WAVETABLE")
   load("MOOGVCF")

   // feed wavetable into filter
   bus_config("WAVETABLE", "aux 0 out")
   bus_config("MOOGVCF", "aux 0 in", "out 0-1")

   dur = 10.0
   amp = 10000
   pitch = 6.00
   wavet = maketable("wave", 15000, "saw30")
   WAVETABLE(0, dur, amp, pitch, 0, wavet)
   WAVETABLE(0, dur, amp, pitch+.0005, 0, wavet)

   amp = 20.0
   env = maketable("line", 1000, 0,1, 7,1, 10,0)

   lowcf = 500
   highcf = 1500
   lowres = 0.1
   highres = 0.9

   cf = maketable("line", "nonorm", 2000, 0,lowcf, dur*.2,lowcf, dur*.5,highcf, dur,lowcf)
   res = maketable("line", "nonorm", 2000, 0,lowres, 1,highres, 2,lowres)

   MOOGVCF(0, 0, dur, amp * env, inchan=0, pan=0.5, bypass=0, cf, res)
