Infinite Impulse Response Filter (IIR Filter)
IIR Filter Graphing Tool
Feedforward Filters
Feedforward filters generate one or more zeros
Feedback Filters
Feedback filters generate one or more poles

Pole Zero Filters
Usually these will be combined to create a p-z filter (pole zero filter)
because the filters are linear and time-invariant, the filters can be switched around like this:
each filter can share the delay feedback path like this:
Direct Form 1
Direct Form 2
Bi-Quad Filter aka 2nd order IIR Filter
extensively used in audio DSP, very computationally efficient
Cascade them to form a
4th order IIR Filter
FIR filter, compared to IIR filters, are more computationally expensive and require possibly hundreds of taps to achieve the same goal. because of the hundreds of taps, very high latency. They can only be computed in the digital domain while IIR filters do not have this limitation
