## Detailed Description

STK biquad (two-pole, two-zero) filter class.

This class implements a two-pole, two-zero digital filter. Methods are provided for creating a resonance or notch in the frequency response while maintaining a constant filter gain.

by Perry R. Cook and Gary P. Scavone, 1995 - 2010.

## Member Function Documentation

void stk::BiQuad::setResonance | ( | StkFloat | frequency,
|  | StkFloat | radius,
|  | bool | normalize = `false` |
| ) |  |  |

Sets the filter coefficients for a resonance at frequency (in Hz).

This method determines the filter coefficients corresponding to two complex-conjugate poles with the given frequency (in Hz) and radius from the z-plane origin. If normalize is true, the filter zeros are placed at z = 1, z = -1, and the coefficients are then normalized to produce a constant unity peak gain (independent of the filter gain parameter). The resulting filter frequency response has a resonance at the given frequency. The closer the poles are to the unit-circle (radius close to one), the narrower the resulting resonance width.

void stk::BiQuad::setNotch | ( | StkFloat | frequency,
|  | StkFloat | radius |
| ) |  |  |

Set the filter coefficients for a notch at frequency (in Hz).

This method determines the filter coefficients corresponding to two complex-conjugate zeros with the given frequency (in Hz) and radius from the z-plane origin. No filter normalization is attempted.

void stk::BiQuad::setEqualGainZeroes | ( | void |  | ) |

Sets the filter zeroes for equal resonance gain.

When using the filter as a resonator, zeroes places at z = 1, z = -1 will result in a constant gain at resonance of 1 / (1 - R), where R is the pole radius setting.

StkFrames & stk::BiQuad::tick | ( | StkFrames & | frames,
|  | unsigned int | channel = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[inline, virtual]`

Take a channel of the StkFrames object as inputs to the filter and replace with corresponding outputs.

The StkFrames argument reference is returned. The `channel` argument must be less than the number of channels in the StkFrames argument (the first channel is specified by 0). However, range checking is only performed if _STK_DEBUG_ is defined during compilation, in which case an out-of-range value will trigger an StkError exception.

Implements stk::Filter.

StkFrames & stk::BiQuad::tick | ( | StkFrames & | iFrames,
|  | StkFrames & | oFrames,
|  | unsigned int | iChannel = `0`,
|  | unsigned int | oChannel = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[inline]`

Take a channel of the `iFrames` object as inputs to the filter and write outputs to the `oFrames` object.

The `iFrames` object reference is returned. Each channel argument must be less than the number of channels in the corresponding StkFrames argument (the first channel is specified by 0). However, range checking is only performed if _STK_DEBUG_ is defined during compilation, in which case an out-of-range value will trigger an StkError exception.
