## lowresx

lowresx — Simulates layers of serially connected resonant lowpass filters.

## Description

lowresx is equivalent to more layers of lowres with the same arguments serially connected.

## Syntax

    ares lowresx asig, xcutoff, xresonance [, inumlayer] [, iskip]

## Initialization

inumlayer -- number of elements in a lowresx stack. Default value is 4. There is no maximum.

iskip -- initial disposition of internal data space. A zero value will clear the space; a non-zero value will allow previous information to remain. The default value is 0.

## Performance

asig -- input signal

xcutoff -- filter cutoff frequency point

xresonance -- resonance amount

lowresx is equivalent to more layer of lowres with the same arguments serially connected. Using a stack of a larger number of filters allows a sharper cutoff. This is faster than using a larger number of instances of lowres in a Csound orchestra because only one initialization and k cycle are needed at time and the audio loop falls entirely inside the cache memory of processor. Based on an orchestra by Hans Mikelson

## Examples

Here is an example of the lowresx opcode. It uses the file lowresx.csd.
