<p>pvsmooth —
Smooth the amplitude and frequency time functions of a pv stream using parallel 1st order
lowpass IIR filters with time-varying cutoff frequency.

<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
Smooth the amplitude and frequency time functions of a pv stream using a 1st order
lowpass IIR with time-varying cutoff frequency. This opcode uses the same filter
as the <span class="emphasis"><em>tone</em></span> opcode, but this time acting separately on the amplitude and frequency
time functions that make up a pv stream. The cutoff frequency parameter runs at the
control-rate, but unlike <span class="emphasis"><em>tone</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>tonek</em></span>, it is not specified in Hz, but as fractions
of 1/2 frame-rate (actually the pv stream sampling rate), which is easier to
understand. This means that the highest cutoff frequency is 1 and the lowest 0; the lower
the frequency the smoother the functions and more pronounced the effect will be.
</p>
<p>
These are filters applied to control signals so the effect is basically blurring the spectral evolution. The effects produced are more or less similar to <span class="emphasis"><em>pvsblur</em></span>, but with two important
differences: 1.smoothing of amplitudes and frequencies use separate sets of filters; and 2. there is
no increase in computational cost when higher amounts of 'blurring' (smoothing) are desired.

It is unsafe to use the same f-variable for both input and output of pvs opcodes. Using the same one might lead to undefined behavior on some opcodes. Use a different one on the left and right sides of the opcode.

<p>
The formula for calculating the cutoff frequency of the filter: frame rate / hopsize = new frame starts per second (in Hz), then the percentage of half the framerate.
For example, looking at the first note in the example, the frame rate is 44100 / 256 = 172,265625 Hz (= 172 new frame starts per
second). half of the frame rate is about 86 Hz, and one percent of this is 0.86 Hz.
