Passive nonlinear filters provide a rich source of evolving spectra for sound synthesis. This paper describes a nonlinear allpass filter of arbitrary order based on the normalized ladder filter. It is expressed in FAUST recursively in only two statements. Toward the synthesis of cymbals and gongs, it was used to make nonlinear waveguide meshes and feedback-delay-network reverberators.
