This block gives access to two general 2nd-order filters: Peaking and Shelving EQ. The algorithms driving this block are the same as for the other 2nd-order filters, but it simply offers an alternate layout and control of parameters that may prove more useful for your application. | This block gives access to two general 2nd-order filters: Peaking and Shelving EQ.

__Q:__ Set the Q you want (max 51) by entering a value in the field, clicking its arrows, or using the concentric knobs, where the outer one controls the integer value and the inner one the decimal value. Q governs the narrowness of the filter, being the ratio of the center frequency to the half-power points (-3dB) on either side. The higher the Q the faster the transition between passband and stopband. | __Q:__ Set the Q you want (max 51) by entering a value in the field, clicking its arrows, or using the concentric knobs, where the outer one controls the integer value and the inner one the decimal value.

- | __Slew: | + | __Slew(s):__This field sets the slew time(seconds) for slewing of filter coefficients when a filter parameter is changed. The slew computation is in single precision and implements RC slewing. The slew time can be set between 0-1 second. |

This is a quick and versatile block, as can be seen by comparing the below curves with their settings. It is highly useful for developing an educated ear. | This is a quick and versatile block, as can be seen by comparing the below curves with their settings.
