## mvclpf2

mvclpf2 — Moog voltage-controlled lowpass filter emulation.

## Description

Mvclpf2 is an digital implementation of the 4th-order (24 dB/oct) Moog ladder filter originally written by Fons Andriaensen. According to the author, mvclpf2 "uses five non-linear elements, in the input and in all four filter sections. It works by using the derivative of the nonlinearity (for which 1 / (1 + x * x) is reasonable approximation). The main advantage of this is that only one evaluation of the non-linear function is required for each section".

## Syntax

    asig mvclpf2 ain, xcf, xres[, istor]

## Initialization

istor --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

ain -- input signal.

xcf -- filter cutoff frequency. The useful range is around six octaves below and above middle C (pch 8.00).

xres -- resonance, limited to the interval [0,1].

## Examples

Here is an example of the mvclpf2 opcode. It uses the file mvclpf2.csd.
