This example demonstrates how to “filter” sound using the p5.Biquad class. Filters are a core component of sound synthesis and are useful for removing, isolating, or accentuating particular frequency ranges. To learn more about filters see this guide.
The sketch also introduces the p5.Noise class which can be useful for making wind and water sounds. Noise sources can also be “windowed” with the p5.Envelope class to create percussive sounds.
Try experimenting with different kinds of filters such as bandpass, highpass, and lowpass (default).
