Official effect
Stepped low-pass sweep that currently uses the same quantized modulation core as Step Filter.
This preview currently uses the same quantized sine-based step generator as Step Filter, feeding a resonant low-pass stage and post-filter high shelf. It already creates stepped movement, but there is no separate programmed sequence data in the current code.
Static peaks come from the compiled FAUST preview render. The live scope is drawn from the browser playback output in real time.
How It Works

Signal Path
Preview source: An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo with a 19-sample right-channel delay and slight left/right shelf-EQ offsets before it hits the filter core.

Quantized stepped modulation source driving a resonant low-pass filter with post-filter high-shelf tone shaping.
The static waveform and the live player both reflect this compiled signal chain.
These are the currently active controls detected in the FAUST source for this effect.
The generated description is tied to the active helper blocks and routing found in the current DSP.
Controls
Blends the untouched stereo preview source with the filtered path after the effect core.
Lower settings preserve more dry attack and full-band tone; higher settings emphasize the filter treatment.
Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
Matches loudness without changing the filter behavior itself.
Sets the base center of the resonant low-pass filter and the post-filter high shelf.
Moves the stepped sweep lower or higher and changes the final brightness.
Increases the size of each filter step and the resonance amount.
Makes the stepped motion wider and more pronounced.
Sets the speed of the quantized internal sine-based step generator.
Changes how quickly the filter hops between its stepped positions.
Analysis
Current implementation shares the same quantized stepped resonant low-pass core across Step Filter, Sequenced Filter, Sample-and-Hold Filter, and Random Filter; the motion is deterministic rather than truly random or sequence-programmed.
No current warnings are attached to this effect.
