# lowres

lowres -- Another resonant lowpass filter.

## Description

lowres is a resonant lowpass filter.

## Syntax

ar lowres asig, kcutoff, kresonance [, iskip]

## Initialization

iskip -- initial disposition of internal data space. A zero value will clear the space; a non-zero value will allow previous information to remain. The default value is 0.

## Performance

asig -- input signal

kcutoff -- filter cutoff frequency point

kresonance -- resonance amount

lowres is a resonant lowpass filter derived from a Hans Mikelson orchestra. This implementation is much faster than implementing it in Csound language, and it allows kr lower than sr. kcutoff is not in Hz and kresonance is not in dB, so experiment for the finding best results.

## Examples

Here is an example of the lowres opcode. It uses the files lowres.orc, lowres.sco and beats.wav.

Example 1. Example of the lowres opcode.

    /* lowres.orc */
    ; Initialize the global variables.
    sr = 44100
    kr = 4410
    ksmps = 10
    nchnls = 1

    ; Instrument #1.
    instr 1
      ; Use a nice sawtooth waveform.
      asig vco 5000, 440, 1

      ; Vary the cutoff frequency from 30 to 300 Hz.
      kcutoff line 30, p3, 300
      kresonance = 10

      ; Apply the filter.
      a1 lowres asig, kcutoff, kresonance

      out a1
    endin
    /* lowres.orc */

    /* lowres.sco */
    ; Table #1, a sine wave for the vco opcode.
    f 1 0 16384 10 1

    ; Play Instrument #1 for two seconds.
    i 1 0 2
    e
    /* lowres.sco */
