## reson

reson — A second-order resonant filter.

## Description

A second-order resonant filter.

## Syntax

    ares reson asig, xcf, xbw [, iscl] [, iskip]

## Initialization

iscl (optional, default=0) -- coded scaling factor for resonators. A value of 1 signifies a peak response factor of 1, i.e. all frequencies other than kcf are attenuated in accordance with the (normalized) response curve. A value of 2 raises the response factor so that its overall RMS value equals 1. (This intended equalization of input and output power assumes all frequencies are physically present; hence it is most applicable to white noise.) A zero value signifies no scaling of the signal, leaving that to some later adjustment (see balance). The default value is 0.

iskip (optional, default=0) -- initial disposition of internal data space. Since filtering incorporates a feedback loop of previous output, the initial status of the storage space used is significant. A zero value will clear the space; a non-zero value will allow previous information to remain. The default value is 0.

## Performance

ares -- the output signal at audio rate.

asig -- the input signal at audio rate.

xcf -- the center frequency of the filter, or frequency position of the peak response.

xbw -- bandwidth of the filter (the Hz difference between the upper and lower half-power points).

reson is a second-order filter in which kcf controls the center frequency, or frequency position of the peak response, and kbw controls its bandwidth (the frequency difference between the upper and lower half-power points).

## Examples

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