Digital filters and real-time processing of digital signals have traditionally been beyond the reach of most, due partially to hardware cost as well as complexity of design. In recent years, low-cost digital signal processor (DSP) development boards have put this within reach. This book will break down this design complexity barrier by means of simplified tutorials, step-by-step instructions, along with a collection of audio projects. Design formulas are presented to build the digital equivalent of standard audio filters: lowpass, highpass, and bandpass.
this is pretty decent. maybe 20 or so examples of relatively simple digital filter topologies, configured for common applications, and pressented with pretty fast c code, a few equations describing response characteristics, and not a drop of theory or background beyond the introduction.
