Summary

This project contains several functions and classes related to DSP, especially filtering. The most important classes are Filter and CascadedFilter, which represent a single filter and a cascade of filters (series interpretation), respectively. Filters are represented by the coefficients of their transfer function, H(z), from which the transfer function can be interpreted directly.

Implementations are provided for Butterworth lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and notch filters of any order. Any of these implementations can be realized directly or as a cascaded biquad. In addition, each implementation includes a resonance control that makes the filters suitable for audio applications.
