Detailed Description

STK sweepable formant filter class.

This public BiQuad filter subclass implements a formant (resonance) which can be "swept" over time from one frequency setting to another. It provides methods for controlling the sweep rate and target frequency.

Member Function Documentation

void FormSwep::setResonance MY_FLOAT  aFrequency,
MY_FLOAT  aRadius
 

Sets the filter coefficients for a resonance at frequency (in Hz).

This method determines the filter coefficients corresponding to two complex-conjugate poles with the given frequency (in Hz) and radius from the z-plane origin. The filter zeros are placed at z = 1, z = -1, and the coefficients are then normalized to produce a constant unity gain (independent of the filter gain parameter). The resulting filter frequency response has a resonance at the given frequency. The closer the poles are to the unit-circle (radius close to one), the narrower the resulting resonance width.

void FormSwep::setSweepRate MY_FLOAT  aRate  ) 
 

Set the sweep rate (between 0.0 - 1.0).

The formant parameters are varied in increments of the sweep rate between their current and target values. A sweep rate of 1.0 will produce an immediate change in resonance parameters from their current values to the target values. A sweep rate of 0.0 will produce no change in resonance parameters.

void FormSwep::setSweepTime MY_FLOAT  aTime  ) 
 

Set the sweep rate in terms of a time value in seconds.

This method adjusts the sweep rate based on a given time for the formant parameters to reach their target values.
