"...how can I use the FIR filter in the Freeverb3 open source library..." Freeverb3 is not a library by nature, I think but anyhow, it might be GPLd (Gnu Public Licence) which puts some restraints on how you can use the code, in some cases you´ll have to publish the source of your derived work

Robert and Nigel, many thanks for your valuable input, I'll investigate more on that direction then (DFT + iDFT). Regards, Charles -- dupswapdrop -- the music-dsp mailing list and website: subscription info, FAQ, source code archive, list archive, book reviews, dsp links http://music.columbia.

If I understand correctly, you want to take an arbitrary one-cycle wav and build "mip-map" tables, dropping out upper harmonics successively. Off the top of my head: You'd probably need a relatively long FIR, as the filter moves down (to maintain a good dB/oct rolloff), though you could take ad

Without being quite sure how you intend to use the filter I don't know if this advice is useful; But for wavetable synthesis you don't really need a filter, as such. For preparation of tables it is usual to do it by construction, to build the table additively from a sum of partials. That way y

Dear Members, I'm trying to figure out how can I use the FIR filter in the Freeverb3 open source library as an anti-aliasing filter in a wavetable synth. More in detail: I'd like to use it in the initialization phase to pre- calculate a lookup table of filtered waveforms starting from single-cyc
