the big problem i am dealing with is people singing or humming and changing notes. i really want to encode those pitch changes as new notes rather than as a continuation of the previous note (perhaps adjusted with MIDI pitch bend messages). there is not sufficient change in amplitude or even in t

A Leslie emulation (or effect similar to that) might well need one, depending on how you modeled it. Same statement applies for tape delay style effects too. As you say, I bet there's plenty of others, too. Anyone else got any other effects to add to the list? Ian On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 1:07 PM

Thanks for sharing. Looks nice! A question: I see that the write callback supplies a minimum and maximum number of frames that the callback is allowed to produce. I would prefer a callback that instructed me to produce a given number of samples. It is simpler and more consistent with existing APIs

That would also be my first choice. It might also be worth looking at modern algorithms in that family of methods.

The problem you are experiencing is caused by the fact that after changing the filter coefficients, the state of the filter produces something different to the current output. There are several ways to solve the problem: - The time varying bilinear transform: http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?eli
