Ladder 4 Pole LP Filter

[DanH]

Is this filter ok for modulating? I know some like the Moog create some horrible noise whilst being modulated, although both sound good here so far - I don't want some nasty outbursts later down the line!

Correction - NEVER MODULATE THE MOOG FILTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HISE Moog filter seems very weird and buggy to me. Sudden horrible noise gave me shock when I was not used to it.

The recommendation has been "dont use the Moog Filter, use the Ladder filter" for a few years now....

[DanH]

@Lindon shame as the moog has a lovely sound to it! Thanks for the info :)

Moog Filter gives a rich analogue touch that Ladder Filter can't produce. But alas ! it is buggy.

@DabDab it’s a shame Moog filter fails. I love how it sounds. I looked into de C++ code but is far away from my understanding. I also tried faust moog filter but Hises sounds better. Hope @Christoph-Hart can fix that some day

[DabDab]

@hisefilo Hmmm.. I also tried FAUST Moog. You are right HISE moog is better (y)

[Frankbeat]

I‘m pretty happy with the sound of the 4pole LP – when I tested it, I didn’t recognize there’s a Moog LP to choose. So, judging by my ears, I already found a moogish filter

[DanH]

I think in general the filter selection could use a freshen up. @Lindon mentioned a while back that I'd need to find the code for new filters and then implement them into Hise.

So a) where does one find the code for filters, and b) how would you get them into Hise? (I'm assuming through SNEX).

[Lindon]

@DanH - you'd probably need to do it with C++ there are several well respected books on filter design - google it.

Alternatively you could look at the filters in Faust.

[DanH]

@Lindon Thanks - another issue is being able to update / create new filter displays for the UI. Any ideas on that anyone? Aside from drawing it all in PR

[DanH]

@DabDab how do I get the Faust Moog? Can't see it on https://faustide.grame.fr/ but maybe I'm in the wrong place!

Possibly here: https://faustdoc.grame.fr/examples/filtering/#mooghalfladder and next ones.

[DanH]

@sletz Thank you! :)

Ok finally trying the Faust Moog - It's mono lol... but has stereo in and out... Can make it work tho

[DanH]

@DanH ok no I can't

It only takes the left channel - is there a node I can use to get the right input channel and switch it over to the left input?!

[Christoph Hart]

@DanH I recommend spending 1-2 hours learning the absolute basics of Faust signal routing - turning a single channel processing module into a stereo module is super trivial if you now how it works. Just learn the basic operators and you should be able to do this (and many other simple things) yourself.

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart ah ok... Will do!

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart ok I found the bit to edit... I guess I'm confused as it's a parallel combination (2 ins, 2 outs) but only takes the left channel?

process = inputSignal : ve.moogLadder(normFreq,Q) <:_,_;
