## moogvcf2

moogvcf2 — A digital emulation of the Moog diode ladder filter configuration.

## Description

A digital emulation of the Moog diode ladder filter configuration.

## Syntax

    ares moogvcf2 asig, xfco, xres [,iscale, iskip]

## Initialization

iscale (optional, default=0dBfs) -- internal scaling factor, as the operation of the code requires the signal to be in the range +/-1. Input is first divided by iscale, then output is mutliplied by iscale.

iskip (optional, default=0) -- if non zero skip the initialisation of the filter.

## Performance

asig -- input signal

xfco -- filter cut-off frequency in Hz. which may be i-,k-, or a-rate.

xres -- amount of resonance. Self-oscillation occurs when xres is approximately one. May be a-rate, i-rate, or k-rate.

moogvcf2 is a digital emulation of the Moog diode ladder filter configuration. This emulation is based loosely on the paper “Analyzing the Moog VCF with Considerations for Digital Implementation” by Stilson and Smith (CCRMA). This version was originally coded in Csound by Josep Comajuncosas. Some modifications and conversion to C were done by Hans Mikelson and then adjusted.

moogvcf2 is identical to moogvcf, except that the iscale parameter defaults to 0dbfs instead of 0, guaranteeing that amplitude will usually be OK.

## Examples

Here is an example of the moogvcf2 opcode. It uses the file moogvcf2.csd.
