VCF

Stereo effect using the waveform object to modulate the filter. The toggle selects between lowpass/bandpass/highpass.


The mixers are controlled by the toggle switch, silencing all but one filter output (lp/bp/hp) at a time. The biquad filters smooth over the waveforms very slightly, removing the hard edges of square waves etc to prevent audible ticking.
