Creating convincing metallic percussion requires inharmonic resonances that standard harmonic filters can’t produce. Honeycomb solves this with nested comb filter architecture—16 parallel inharmonic filters arranged in 4 groups, based on research by Jae Hyun Ahn and Richard Dudas. One comb filter nests within another’s feedback loop, allowing independent frequency tuning with coefficient interpolation between harmonic, odd-harmonic, and inharmonic spectra.
Inside you’ll find:
- 16 Nested Comb Filters — unique architecture where inner comb sits within outer comb’s feedback loop
- Dual Frequency Control — independent tuning of outer and inner comb frequencies per filter
- Two-Coefficient System — interpolate between harmonic, odd-harmonic, and inharmonic spectra
- 4 Groups of 4 Filters — organized structure with solo, routing, and linking controls per group
- Parallel or Serial Routing — cascade filters for complex resonance interactions
- Frequency Linking — lock group frequencies together with adjustable Hz offset
- Group Frequency Shifting — shift entire groups for inharmonic shimmer
- Per-Filter Processing — gain control and 2-pole lowpass filter on each of 16 filters
- Global Controls — frequency shift, dry/wet mix, output gain, built-in limiter
Perfect for metallic hi-hats and cymbals, bell and gong synthesis, riser effects, or adding metallic character to any sound. The coefficient controls create inharmonic relationships impossible with traditional filters—essential for physical modeling of metallic objects and experimental sound design.
