## butterbr

butterbr — A band-reject Butterworth filter.

## Description

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

## Syntax

    ares butterbr 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 butterbr opcode. It uses the file butterbr.csd.
