-Where are the resultant equalizer files stored?

I would like to generate a custom amplitude and phase equalization (or its corresponding impulse response) and somehow implement it. This is to mimic the response of a Sallen Key highpass filter with a Q of 2. These were used with old B&W matrix loudspeakers (e.g. 801, 802,...).  Amplitude is easy with the current set up, but phase is unknown.

Knowing the location of the files (and potentially their format) will make this possible. This would also tell me exactly what the equalizer is doing.

I think I got the method down and given the wonderful new capabilities Moode 7.0 offers it should not be too difficult. Looking at https://www.bitlab.nl/page_id=634 and the Camilladsp pages it is possible to enter an impulse response filter, or even simpler a high pass filter with desired Q. I take it that the equalizer performs a convolution with the impulse response as the dit stream is generated. I also believe that the filters are transformed internally to create that impulse response making the job much simpler.

The alsa_cdsp module is in the wrong location (my bad), you can correct it by running the following command:

Code:

sudo install -m 644 `pkg-config --variable=libdir alsa`/libasound_module_pcm_cdsp.so `pkg-config --variable=libdir alsa`/alsa-lib/

That got it to work. Thank You. One question I am using a Biquad High pass filter with a Q of 2. Camilla outputs coefficients (printed when run from ssh) that look like a Q of 0.5 instead. It is easier to ask than to try to measure it. I want the 6 dB peak in the frequency response. The speakers were designed to have it.

Great you like it 
The current use of Camilla with moOde is still experimental. 
Need some further integration to make it easier to use, without the need of a terminal.
