Filter designer : an intuitive digital filter design environment

The ability to accurately manipulate the spectral content of audio is indispensable for the artistic presentation of sound. While there are many devices currently available that are capable of performing this function, most tend to be either highly complex electrical engineering tools, or music-oriented products that are limited in functionality. Filter Designer was created to fill this gap by providing an environment with which musically-trained users can design and implement digital filters, while having access to control parameters and analysis data previously exclusive to the engineering field. This work explores the factors that motivated the creation of Filter Designer, and examines the process of its development, from basic user interface design to the calculation and implementation of digital filters for use with audio signals.
