EQ envelope?

[tomhanzo]

ok i dont know alot about envelopes but could a person make an envelope filter that is an EQ at the same time? like you hit a note it is a deep bassy one that turns into a super treb one?????

Is this possible? Am i crazy for asking/thinking of this?

[Combs4MyDomes]

yes

[bongomania]

Yes, entirely possible. EQ is just a type of filter.

Sounds a bit like my Q-tron plus - an envelope filter, controlled by the dynamics of your playing. Have a look at the ehx demo.

If you want something more "sophisticated" you could use the filters and routing on a synth that has an external input. A novation nova...



could probably do what you want. You could perhaps set up the high pass filter to effect the sound dependent on an envelope??

Why not get a good quality graphic equaliser or a multi FX that you can tweek the patches?

I use a pedal wah for this kind of stuff. Much easier to control.

i like the q tron plus it seems like what i ment, but man so much money

[tomvelsor]

sounds like you just want a regular envelope filter, pretty much..

DOD FX25 it up son. very inexpencive, very high quality.

An Eq that responds to your attack? Now there's an idea!
Set up a two stage filter for the input level, each followed by its own Eq, followed by a gain stage(so you can achieve unity with each section) sorted!

Sorry for the random blabber...

Sounds kind of like an expander. The Boss EH-2 has an envelope follower, which triggers a boost in a certain frequency, which you control with a knob. I think the EHX Steel Leather is the same deal, except I don't think you can select the frequency with that one.

The Korg Dynamic Exciter does just that too.

It basically is an envelope of whatever you put in the loop. Add an EQ to the loop and you are set!
