my "next level" would be to calculate the new filter types myself uign messages (or in best case even signal based).

if anyone would be bored enough to build it for me that would be great.

i have lowpass, highpass, bandpass and shelving filter coefficient patches (mostly copied from zack settel i think) and it would be so lovely to have the brickwall filters (and eventualy the butterworth, but it is not too important for now) as max patch, too.

Informative, and great style (casual and patch-y, with still lots of deep info).

I tried playing around with this, and I got some crazy feedback. Just gave myself a heart attack by switching between filter modes, and nearly blew out my speakers. Perhaps it's best not to be changing the attributes of filterdesign while the audio engine is running, but seriously a little warning would have been nice.

Otherwise, really interesting tutorial, and definitely did inspire me to try it myself!

what you see is the expected behaviour of a biquad filter when receiving drastic coefficient change. (i.e. as it also happens when you change the settings within the same filter type!)

you could implement a function which increases the interpolation time for coefficients to 300 ms or so for that moment you change the filter type.

i've quickly, tested, and it's possible to use Q with filterdesign?

oups i've not see the tab integration, in the help for "filterdesign"..

Nice work, Tim! Very clear intro to these objects.

Clear explanation of how to use these tools. And also how plot is very handy.
