Example: time_varying_filter2 (hears)ΒΆ
This example implements a band pass filter whose center frequency is modulated by
a sinusoid function. This modulator is implemented as a
FunctionFilterbank
. One state variable (here time) must
be kept; it is therefore implemented with a class.
The bandpass filter coefficients update is an example of how to use a
ControlFilterbank
. The bandpass filter is a basic
biquadratic filter for which the Q factor and the center
frequency must be given. The input is a white noise.
