Musical Applications of New Filter Extensions to Max/MSP

Authors

Tristan Jehan, Adrian Freed, Richard Dudas

Abstract

We introduce three new Max/MSP signal processing extensions that efficiently implement IIR filters: biquadbank~, peqbank~ and resonators~. After describing their common properties, specific features and new support objects, we conclude the paper with a summary of their musical applications.
