## butterbp

butterbp — A band-pass Butterworth filter.

## Description

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

## Syntax

    ares butterbp asig, xfreq, xband [, 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.

xfreq -- Cutoff or center frequency for each of the filters.

xband -- Bandwidth of the bandpass and bandreject filters.

## Examples

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