I realy like that way of looking at things. It should also work well with
going from a general large-scope structure to details and refining in the
programing process. This a good idea IMHO, way better then LPF12, LPF24,
LPFWasp ;¬) and so on.

Theoretically, yes. I for one need way more reading/homework/time to let it
sink in to be able to do that....

I agree.

No, this would be great!

I've been thinking that if we have realy open-ended filters as well as the
posibility to do loads of things with time then it might make sense to at
some stage see how close we could get to EMU style morphing filters and
similar sorts of things. A library/tookit type thingy with a "how to get
started" sort of tutorial would be most welome here. I realy like how a
function-call can be used to set a filter by coeficients but how to
construct such a function (math wise) is a big question to me.


I like where this is going.
