Description
The svf~ object is an implementation of a state-variable filter algorithm described in Hal Chamberlin's book, "Musical Applications of Microprocessors." A unique feature of this filter object is that it produces lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and bandreject (notch) output simultaneously - all four are available as outlets.
Examples
Arguments
center-frequency [float]
Sets the initial center frequency for the filter. The default value is 0.
Q [float]
Sets the initial Q value for the filter. The default value is 0.01.
Hz [symbol]
Sets the frequency input mode to Hz (the default mode - hence this is the same as providing no mode argument).
linear [symbol]
Sets the frequency input mode to linear (0 -1).
radians [symbol]
Sets the frequency input mode to radians (0 -1).
Attributes
Common Box Attributes
annotation [symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in the Clue window when the user moves the mouse over the object.
background [int] (default: 0)
Adds or removes the object from the patcher's background layer.
adds the object to the background layer, removes it. Objects in the background layer are shown behind all objects in the default foreground layer.color [4 floats]
Sets the color for the object box outline.
fontface [int]
Sets the type style used by the object. The options are:
plain
bold
italic
bold italic
Possible values:
0 = 'regular'
1 = 'bold'
2 = 'italic'
3 = 'bold italic'
fontname [symbol]
Sets the object's font.
fontsize [float]
Sets the object's font size (in points).
Possible values:
'8'
'9'
'10'
'11'
'12'
'13'
'14'
'16'
'18'
'20'
'24'
'30'
'36'
'48'
'64'
'72'
hidden [int] (default: 0)
Toggles whether an object is hidden when the patcher is locked.
hint [symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in as a pop-up hint when the user moves the mouse over the object in a locked patcher.
ignoreclick [int] (default: 0)
Toggles whether an object ignores mouse clicks in a locked patcher.
patching_rect [4 floats] (default: 0. 0. 100. 0.)
Sets the position and size of the object in the patcher window.
position [2 floats]
Sets the object's x and y position in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its size unchanged.
presentation [int] (default: 0)
Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.
presentation_rect [4 floats] (default: 0. 0. 0. 0.)
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in the patcher's presentation, leaving its patching position unchanged.
rect [4 floats]
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation).
size [2 floats]
Sets the object's width and height in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its position unchanged.
textcolor [float]
Sets the color for the object's text in RGBA format.
textjustification [int]
Text Justification
Possible values:
0 = 'left'
1 = 'center'
2 = 'right'
varname [symbol]
Sets the patcher's scripting name, which can be used to address the object by name in pattr, scripting messages to thispatcher, and the js object.

Arguments
Hz

signal
In middle inlet: Sets the filter center frequency in Hz.
In right inlet: Sets the bandpass filter "Q" - roughly, the sharpness of the filter - where Q is defined as the filter bandwidth divided by the center frequency. Useful Q values are typically between 0.01 and 500.
Output
signal
The filtered input signal.
