butterlp

butterlp — A low-pass Butterworth filter.

Description

Implementation of a second-order low-pass Butterworth filter. This opcode can also be written as butlp.

Syntax

ares butterlp asig, kfreq [, iskip]
ares butterlp asig, afreq [, iskip]

Initialization

iskip (optional, default=0) -- Skip initialization if present and non-zero.

Performance

These filters are Butterworth second-order IIR filters. They are slightly slower than the original filters in Csound, but they offer an almost flat passband and very good precision and stopband attenuation.

asig -- Input signal to be filtered.

kfreq/afreq -- Cutoff or center frequency for each of the filters.

Examples

Here is an example of the butterlp opcode. It uses the file butterlp.csd.
