11.1.3.1 The filter types

Let's have a look at some of these filters properties:
- The low-pass filter (LP) progressively removes high frequencies above the assigned
frequency limit (the cut-off frequency) and allows the sound below the cut-off to
pass through unchanged. Depending on the setting we can hear the sound becoming
more or less "brilliant", more or less "dampened". This is the type of filtering that
you can mostly find on synthesizers that use subtractive synthesis. It can be found
on most of the recent analog and digital synthesizers.
- The high-pass [HP] filter acts symmetrically to that of the low pass filter. It eliminates
frequencies below the cut-off frequency.
- The band pass [BP] filter is the combination of a low pass filter and a high pass filter: it
eliminates the frequencies found on either side of the cut-off frequency. Use it to make a
certain band of frequencies that you wish to emphasize appear. This makes the sound
more "pinched".
