i am designing a synthesis program and trying to save all the settings in the patch by using the autopattr object. all the objects i am using are recognized, except filtergraph (or cascade for that matter). I realize that the filtergraph and the cascade objects will not output any info for autopattr, but i need some way to save the filter settings. my patch has multiple subpachers with a filtergraph in each one, and i have an autopattr in each subpatch and one in the parent patch. also, i have tried a number of ways using the preset object within the subpatchers and using a preset object from the master patcher (with its 'included objects' cable going into the filtergraphs in the subpatch), but there is no security in this effort. preset always forgets the subpatcher's filtergraph settings after i write a file with the write command. please help if anyone knows a method or object that will allow me to complete my patch.

saving-a-cascade-filter-any-way-possible

I can't think of an elegant way. What comes to mind first is saving the filter coefficients from filtergraph~. That would entail an [unpack] with 5 float arguments for each filter represented by filtergraph. The floats could be connected to number boxes and thus exposed to pattr. A simpler way might be to use an object like filtercoeff~. That way you only need to deal with frequency, gain and q for each filter. I recall a non-MSP object like filtercoeff~ (filter-helper or something), but I can't find it just now.

I also save the filter coefficients (five per filter stage in a cascade), but using a multislider instead of number boxes. It remains a very boring way to do this ... I hope [filtergraph~] works with the pattr system in Max 5.

You can alternatively use [filtercoeff~] instead of [filtergraph] but in this case you need to design your own GUI. Another probem is that a 3-stage cascaded filter needs up to three [filtercoeff~].

you might be talking about the biquad_coef abstractions made by R

where might i be able to find R. Dudas' biquadbank~ and what user interface do you use to input the coeffs? i would like my average user to be able to manipulate a multi-bank eq..

i tried settings up five filters with each one exposing its' freq, amp, q to a pack object going into cascade~, however it totally eats up CPU power, since i need to use 5 of these instances throughout my patch. i also realize my patch needs additional 'cleaning,' so i DO appreciate you ideas...

thanks for you contribution.

still use a PPC G4, no problem at all)

could you elaborate on this? they are neither on R. Dudas share site nor 

in Maxobjects. The closest I could find seems to be the ISPW 

compatibility library, but that's only for IRCAM members, and the object 

names seem to be different so I can't verify...

i have been searching for these objects as well...to no avail.

i don't remember where i found those - I think it was on the "share" 

the package is named "biquad_coef", there are 11 elements in it 

(coef_bpf, coef_gbpf, coef_ghpf etc) and help files as well - I 

really belive/remember it was done by R dudas, and the objects are 

actually abstraction, max only, which take 3 inputs (typically freq, 

amp, q) and output "something" to input in the 2nd infrom left on a 

I use those, with a pak, to build more complex filters, outputting 

suppose (??) it was a free distribution, so i could put them

Richard told me "they are (in an early version) somewhere in the

Michael is gonna confirmed that ;-)

Yes, If found them, CNMAT Nightschool 1999, Dudas Goodies...

Could you share a link? I can't seem to find the night shool archives.

I actually could not find that night school session in their archives. I looked everywhere and asked others in this post if they had the objects with no success. What i ended up doing for my patch was using a series of filtergraphs (next to each other) as a sort of limited multiband eq. obviously this might not always be ideal, but it worked for that project. if you want me to send you that example i'd be glad...just let me know.

sorry it took me long to answer your mail

yes I can send you an exemple, and yes i can send you the objects (I 

hope it is not "wrong" !!) - probably not on the list.... but some
