Hi Ed,<div><br></div><div>I just tested your filtertest_list patch in RjDj and it worked exactly as expected. As Rich suggested maybe you're using an outdated version of libpd?</div><div><br></div><div>If Frank's around I'm sure he would know for certain but if I remember rightly the [u_lowpass] / [u_beequad] combination is not really designed for dynamically changing parameters. Maybe take a look at [e_reslop], [e_lop2] and [e_lop4] for some other filter implementations. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Regarding your second attempt, at what frequency does it 'break' and what's your sampling rate?</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Joe<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 20 March 2012 05:57, Ed Kelly <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:morph_2016@yahoo.co.uk">morph_2016@yahoo.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I've tried the rjlib filter attached (filtertest_list.tar.gz) and it works fine in Pd, but instantly breaks when I run it on the iPhone - all other playing audio cuts out, and it is impossible to reset. I suspect that the buffers fb1 fb2 ff1 ff2 ff3 are hitting NAN values and staying there, but I haven't tested this.</span></div>
<div><br><span></span></div><div><span>2. I've had a go at implementing the filter from <a href="http://www.musicdsp.org/archive.php?classid=3#25" target="_blank">http://www.musicdsp.org/archive.php?classid=3#25</a> as a Pd external (mvcf~.tar.gz) and it is very
efficient CPU-wise. However, higher values of f or q cause the internal filter buffers to hit NAN and stay there (tested in Pd - I haven't tried this on the iPhone yet).</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div>
<span>I would ideally like to find out why the second attempt breaks at high q and/or f, as what I want is a 24dB/Octave moog-ish filter. I'm sure those of you with higher math skills will intuitively know why, but I'm just learning calculus now (my early education was a bit chaotic). I'm also limited by the fact that this is for a commercial project (although I'll be happy to share the code :) so I can't just take a GPL external and recompiled libpd with it.<br>
