Hi,

I would do it by having multiple filters in parallel, one for each overtone, and mix between their outputs, instead of changing a single filter's parameters (which is problematic).

This would use more CPU power, but [bp~] is pretty cheap.

It would also make possible mixing overtones in different proportions, which may or may not be useful.

Did you smooth the frequency changes with a [line~] object or something else before sending to [vcf~]'s 2nd inlet? You can do the same to make gradual transitions for Q changes, but since the Q inlet doesn't take a signal you'll have to use [line] instead.

    As you say, the problem is that I jump from a frequency to the
    next non-continuosly. Is there a way to do that without
    interrupting the signal and without noise?

    Daniel, can you try the [vcf~] object instead of [bp~]? The noise you
    hear most likely happens when you change the filter frequency
    non-continuously.

    > Dear PD-Users,                         I'm having a problem with
    a patch that filters overtones from a sample. I use for that a bp
    filter. The center values for frecuency, Q and output volume are
    changed according to which overtone one wishes to hear. It is so
    configured, that one can select between overtones 3 to 17,
    pressing keys d, r, f, t, g, y, h, u, j, i, k, o, l, p and ñ (I
    have a spanish keyboard). The problem is when I want to change
    between overtones: one hears a noise. I solved that partially by
    reducing the output volume of the bp filter to 0, than changing
    the filter parameters values and then raising up the volume again
    to 1. That works only with adjacent overtones (for ex. overtone 3
    to 4 or 3 to 5), but with larger jumps (for ex. 3 to 15), the
    noise comes again, the larger the jump, the stronger the noise.
