Name
Band -- SPKit resonator band-pass IIR filter
Synopsis
band [-n] center[k] [width[h|k|o|q]]
Function
Apply a band-pass filter. The frequency response drops logarithmically around the center frequency. The width parameter gives the slope of the drop. The frequencies at center + width and center - width will be half of their original amplitudes.

band defaults to a mode oriented to pitched audio, i.e. voice, singing, or instrumental music. The -n (for noise) option uses the alternate mode for un-pitched audio (e.g. percussion).

Warning: -n introduces a power-gain of about 11dB in the filter, so beware of output clipping. band introduces noise in the shape of the filter, i.e. peaking at the center frequency and settling around it.

See also sinc for a bandpass filter with steeper shoulders.
