Hi,

The csound manual is very complete as far as opcodes and csound itself
goes, but it can leave the non-initiate sadly baffled. For example, the
description of the butterlp opcode reads "Implementation of a
second-order low-pass Butterworth filter.". While I know what a low-pass
filter is, I'm afraid that what a "second order Butterworth" lp filter
is and how it differs from other lp filters is beyond me. Is there any
extensive online resource such as a glossary where such information
might be readily available? If not, what would people think of such a
resource (possibly wiki-based) on csounds.com? My ignorance in such
matters is something I keep coming up against, and I have a feeling that
perhaps there are other users, at least less seasoned users, who might
be experiencing the same thing.

Cheers,
S.M.
