LPF doesn't work as supposed
Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2020 7:18 am
1st order LPF implementation schematic can be found from here does not give correct response when exported to VST (VST Analyzer software). What I get are these responses:
(lower response after normalizing a0=1)
(NOTE: red curve is for high shelf filter )
Filter is designed using Octave:
and it gives this response in Octave (and in all other software I've tested so far):
(green = target response, blue thin -- = BLT version, Earlevel plot https://i.postimg.cc/j27DLqVg/earlevel-LPF1.png)
In comparison, 1st order high shelf filter implementation there in plot and schematic gives same response on both software.
Any suggestions on possible culprits for the issue?
