WPKorg35

The WPKorg35 is a lowpass filter found in certain Korg synthesizers. This chugin was based on an online app-note found here. The history is interesting but the technical details are not for the faint of heart.

Resonance controls the strength of the resonant effect. Values near 17 can produce significant overunity gain. Choose small Gain values if you want to preserve your auditory equipment.

Cutoff controls the filter cutoff frequency (in Hz). This value is typically swept to obtain a wah-wah effect. If you select high cutoff values its possible that the overgain effect will be more serious.

Saturation is a scalar multiplier that can be used to control or emphasize the nonlinearity in the filter. Only meaningful if Nonlinear is not None.

Nonlinear enables the linear saturator.

Gain is a multiplier for filter output.

Bypass allows you to bypass the effect.

The Example

Here the node Cutoff, a CCGenerator, generates an expoential sweep of the Cutoff parameter. The speed of this sweep is controlled by Oversample, another CCGenerator. Noise produces a white-noise signal which, when passed through WPKorg35 with a high resonance produces this wonky effect. You can mute the effects of the filter by checking the Bypass parameter. The TimeKeeper node is present to provide a count-in and termination condition.
