Bique (BCF)

An IIR biquad cascade filter.

Back to project

A multi-mode biquad cascade filter with options for lowpass, bandpass, and highpass at either 12dB/oct, 24dB/oct, or 36dB/oct. Modeled after the equations outlined here by Robert Bristow-Johnson.

Output is tanh limited to give distortion at higher gain levels. This is particularly useful when pinging the filter at high resonance.

InputDescription
unit inputThe signal to filter.
type/modeSet the filter type and mode.
V/octVolt per octave offset from f0.
f0The base cutoff frequency.
QResonance, scaled exponentially. Small values are usually enough, but higher values come in handy when pinging the filter.
gainInput gain to push the output against the tanh limiter and cause distortion.
