[sdiy] Wanted: non mathematical description of the function of RC-filters

[Florian Anwander]

Hello

I am answering this post, but I want to thank everyone for the very good 
suggestions (also Richie for his good ideas on private mail).

First of all: the description shall be a short paragraph in an article 
for a german magazine a bit similar to soundonsound 
http://www.synmag.de/. The topic of the article will be the history of 
roland filters (the extended version of my page 
http://fa.utfs.org/diy/roland_filters/index.html). Maybe I will continue 
this later with other companies.
So the description shall be only some short introduction how filters 
work in general. The reader shall at least be able to recognize the 
basic components of a filter in the schematics.

The remark of Monty and others about starting with the voltage divider 
is great. I will combine this approach with my draft.


Thanks for now to everyone. I will come back.

Florian
