BPF [Bandpass Filter]

This type of filter leaves the harmonics around the center, corner or cutoff frequency untouched, and attenuates those above and below the center frequency. The further away you get from the center, the more they are attenuated, based on the number of poles in the filter, with each pole equalling 6 decibels of attenuation for each octave you get away from that center.
