[WIP] Sharp - a Sharpen effect for video input

SHARP

The idea is to extend on the sharpen function, which is essentially a highpass filter mixed with the dry (original) signal to emphasize the edges of the original source.
My idea is to go wild with the edge (highpass filter) width and gain & polarity.
So the edge will be on both sides (instead of the left side) , adjustable in gain and mix
The original signal can be adjusted in gain as well, for additions effect.

The Sharp module will be something like this: (changes will be made, but this is current at 19-02-22)

pot controls:
Edge mix pos
Edge mix neg
Edge gain
Original signal mix

switch: / or pot
edge width

jacks:
in
out
cv? for HighPass cutoff filter

progress:

The proto works and looks great.
I’m trying to go to the max so you can too.
So I’m still working out the features.

Neg DRY + edge looks cool too (in an experimental way), so maybe I’ll add that as extra.
CV on gain is possible but I don’t think it has great effect (but I have to test this with video rate input). so maybe if the edge width can be controlled in the extreme, it might be a cool feature.

I’m not sure yet if this is going to be 4 or 8HP
We’ll see :slight_smile:

…the more parameters are controllable by CV the better…

…do you plan LZX-CVs or Eurorack-CVs…just so i can plan how many converters i might need…

I think LZX CV to keep it compatible for video rate modulations

but this is a feature I have to test, not sure yet if it is going to work as intended
