Wether you're using a synth or a sample, you can apply any of the following built-in audio effects.
As you might suspect, the effects can be chained together, and they accept a pattern string as their argument.

# Filters
<JsDoc client:idle name="bandf" h={0} />
Filters are an essential building block of [subtractive synthesis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_synthesis).
Strudel comes with 3 types of filters:
## bandq
- low-pass filter: low frequencies may _pass_, high frequencies are cut off
- high-pass filter: high frequencies may _pass_, low frequencies are cut off
- band-pass filters: only a frequency band may _pass_, low and high frequencies around are cut off
<JsDoc client:idle name="bandq" h={0} />
Each filter has 2 parameters:
- cutoff: the frequency at which the filter starts to work. e.g. a low-pass filter with a cutoff of 1000Hz allows frequencies below 1000Hz to pass.
- q-value: Controls the resonance of the filter. Higher values sound more aggressive. Also see [Q-Factor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor)

# Amplitude Envelope
The amplitude [envelope](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(music)>) controls the dynamic contour of a sound.
Strudel uses ADSR envelopes, which are probably the most common way to describe an envelope:
