I am reading all info I can find to understand how to design my own IIR filters. In the process of experimenting and testing algorithms I made my second plugin in synthmaker. It is a saturation filter with a additional drive knob to get hard distortion if wanted. Sorry to bother you with my plugs (I know they are not so revolutionary 🙂 ) but it would be nice to get opinions on how it sounds. First of all what you think of the saturation without the drive is interesting to me.

It sounds pretty good on a Vintage Tremolo EP sound I have on my Korg M3. Just a suggestion, you might add Cut Res and Eq. It may not be the most cutting edge plugin but it has a clean Gui, nice vintage knobs and sounds good for what it is. Many times I will use a small Reverb that is here at the forum somewhere, (SynthMaker version of Jezar's Freeverb) because it is simple and fast. When all that is needed on track is just a minor thing, keeping it simple is one way to speed up the mixing process. I rather like your plugin. 😉
Cheers

Thanks a bunch. 🙂
Before I can implement EQ or res I want to fully understand the math behind the filters. Im getting closer but still have lots of reading and mindpuzzling.

Don´t make such a big mess around it. You just have to calcultate a result, where this result is dependent on the past results. This is an IIR Filter. When not paying attention to the past results you have a FIR one. All this stuff you can do with multiplying and adding. Thats all.

I know the difference of FIR & IIR. 😉
It is the understanding of the coefficient maths I'm struggling with. I'm getting more and more convinced that I will have to use the RBJ filters in here and start by tweaking them to get one step closer to understanding. 🙂
