Other common filter modes (HP, BP, and Notch)

- So far, we've just been playing with low pass filters and they are the most commonly available. However, there are also other filter modes, for example, there's a high pass filter. It passes any harmonics above the cut off or corner frequency and instead attenuates the harmonics below the corner or cut off. There's also a band pass filter that allows just a narrow band for it to get through. Again, based on that corner frequency it filters out ones on either side. There's also a notch filter, it just removes harmonics around the corner or cut off frequency. And let's the ones above and below pass without any interruption. Now, not all filters have all of these modes so you have to see what you are getting. In particular, you want something called a multi-mode filter because it offers multiple outputs. For example, low pass and high pass band pass, and you also see above this control the word notch. Now, on the rolling filters, you might have noticed there's this lettering HPF which…
