Hi,
I've been looking at the [lop~] implementation (Pd-0.45-4) and noticed something that seem weird to me.
In d_filter, line 176:
static void siglop_ft1(t_siglop *x, t_floatarg f)
{
if (f < 0) f = 0;
x->x_hz = f;
x->x_ctl->c_coef = f * (2 * 3.14159) / x->x_sr;
if (x->x_ctl->c_coef > 1)
x->x_ctl->c_coef = 1;
else if (x->x_ctl->c_coef < 0)
x->x_ctl->c_coef = 0;
}
Is it correct that for:
y[n] = x[n] * a + y[n-1] * b
a = 2π * Fc / Fs
b = 1.0 - a
where Fc is the cut-off frequency and Fs the sampling frequency.
I appreciate the a coefficient is bounded afterwards but wouldn't that mean that Fc values greater than Fs / 2π will have no impact on the sound being processed.
For example if Fs is 44100, then Fc values above ~7020Hz will not affect the filter.
Have I missed something crucial or could this a bug in the code?
a = 2π*Fc / (2π*Fc + Fs)
Looking forward to understand this more!
Cheers,
Joe
