Summing/splitting Filter with crossover?

Do anyone use a filter that has at least two inputs that can split them via a crossover?
Like- one audio input being split with another audio with a crossover filter? (One input is cut at 500 and is split with another one that goes from 500 up)
What do you use for that? I'm sure I could rig something up, but I'd like to have a plugin for it to make it nice and clean.

Can you be a bit more specific about what you want to do?Octopusbird wrote: ↑30 Aug 2019Do anyone use a filter that has at least two inputs that can split them via a crossover?

What are your two input signals?
Do you want to combine them (equally?) then split the resulting signal by frequency?

I’m looking for a filter that takes 2 inputs and merges into 1 via a crossover frequency
I know I can do it with 2 filters (hp and lp and combine) but I wanted to know if y’all know of another way

You can’t use just any to high pass and low pass filter’s for this affect to be smooth. You need to use two complementary filters, such as are found in the Stereo Imager, and then control them from a Combinator so that one knob controls both crossovers. Make sense?
I’m not aware of an RE that does this, though I wouldn’t be surprised if there were VSTs.

why couldn’t you just use the returns on a Yoko? use two sets of the return inputs, putting one signal into either the low or high return, and the other into the mid return.
then just use the appropriate knob on the front to adjust the crossover frequency...what am I missing?

Is this what you are describing?

Or do you mean something else? Maybe this can get you closer to what you want and simplify the setup?

I think what the OP is describing is something that was built in an old thread over at the old PUF (or maybe here, I'm not sure). It's basically a crossfader crossover!
Works well with two different drum loops, tapping the lows from one and the highs from the other - sweeping the crossover gives very interesting results, depending on the sources of course.
Turning the crossover all the way either direction gives you one input or the other.
Basically this, if I'm not mistaken:

I’m confused...how does that differ from what I described?selig wrote: ↑08 Sep 2019I think what the OP is describing is something that was built in an old thread over at the old PUF (or maybe here, I'm not sure). It's basically a crossfader crossover!

Can't answer your first question- top secret. haha.boingy wrote: ↑30 Aug 2019Can you be a bit more specific about what you want to do?Octopusbird wrote: ↑30 Aug 2019Do anyone use a filter that has at least two inputs that can split them via a crossover?

Jj. I dunno. Anything! It's just a cool idea to play with.
2 signals come in and are merged at a crossover frequency- one takes the low(er) frequencies, one takes the high(er). If you moved the crossover freq all the way up you'd hear one full signal, and if you moved it all the way down you'd hear the other. If you left it somewhere in the middle you'd hear both, but split to upper/lower...
well, I’ve tried it using the Yoko, and it doesn’t work using the returns, which I guess makes sense, given the device’s intended purpose.
still, you can get there pretty easily with two Yokos in a mix track or combi. just route the track outputs to the ins of the Yokos, pull the low cutover on both devices all the way down, and solo the mid band in one Yoko, and the high band in the other. then with the combi/track programmer, just assign the first knob to the high cutoff.
kind of surprised there’s not a dedicated RE for this yet. I don’t think the Yoko dev is still working in the format, but it would probably be fairly easy for them to implement.

You got it - it's what I did above but using all Reason devices. Again this is something a few of us worked on a few years ago, so I had already built it once (but couldn't find it on my drive, so built it again and posted here). It's a simple concept (and I can't take credit for the idea myself), so I'm sure it's something that has to exist in the VST world.guitfnky wrote: ↑09 Sep 2019well, I’ve tried it using the Yoko, and it doesn’t work using the returns, which I guess makes sense, given the device’s intended purpose.

A semi-related concept also floating around around the same time was a LP/HP continuous filter, which was more difficult to built in a combinator. In this filter, the center position was "flat", and turning to the right raised the HP while turning to the left lowered the LP.

interesting idea...I assume you can’t do this with a Yoko in a combi, soloing only the middle band, and assigning both cutovers to a knob (using different min/max values, obviously)...is it because of how the frequency sweep would react at different frequencies? (i.e. a 100 hz difference at the low end is much more noticeable than 100 hz at the high end?)selig wrote: ↑09 Sep 2019A semi-related concept also floating around around the same time was a LP/HP continuous filter, which was more difficult to built in a combinator.

Yup that should work! Still think it's funny that I thought of a very simple vst that might not exist. Lol. There's a vst/re for everything.guitfnky wrote: ↑09 Sep 2019well, I’ve tried it using the Yoko, and it doesn’t work using the returns, which I guess makes sense, given the device’s intended purpose.
