## tonex

tonex — Emulates a stack of filters using the tone opcode.

## Description

tonex is equivalent to a filter consisting of more layers of tone with the same arguments, serially connected. Using a stack of a larger number of filters allows a sharper cutoff. They are faster than using a larger number instances in a Csound orchestra of the old opcodes, because only one initialization and k- cycle are needed at time and the audio loop falls entirely inside the cache memory of processor.

## Syntax

    ares tonex  asig, khp [, inumlayer] [, iskip]

    ares tonex  asig, ahp [, inumlayer] [, iskip]

## Initialization

inumlayer (optional) -- number of elements in the filter stack. Default value is 4.

iskip (optional, default=0) -- initial disposition of internal data space. Since filtering incorporates a feedback loop of previous output, the initial status of the storage space used is significant. A zero value will clear the space; a non-zero value will allow previous information to remain. The default value is 0.

## Performance

asig -- input signal

khp/ahp -- the response curve's half-power point. Half power is defined as peak power / root 2.

## Examples

Here is an example of the tonex opcode. It uses the file tonex.csd.
