 *Matt Davey

== Description ==

Using the rpole~ , rzero~ , cpole~ , czero~ filter primitives provided in the pure pd distribution, create a broader library of filters for use in pure data audio synthesis / processing applications.  Filters to be researched and implemented could include:  2, 3 and 4 pole resonant lowpass filters, parameteric eq, formant filters, comb filters, etc. A further step would be to create some basic synthesizers / effects incorporating these filters.

== Required Skills ==

    Intermediate knowledge of pure data
    Intermediate knowledge of mathematics (trigonometry, transfer functions, etc)
    Basic knowledge of Digital Signal Processing theory

=== Difficulty ===

For a student with an understanding of the theory behind DSP filters, the project should be fairly easy.  For a student without that knowledge, there would need to be an investment of time in learning the theory involved, after which the filter implementation should be quite straight forward.  


=== Possible Breakdown of Steps  ===

 *Research of filter design
 *Implementation of filters in pure data
 *Testing in synthesis and effects patches
