Would you be willing to share a patch demonstrating this? I find that 
feedback-based structures are still difficult to do without saturation 
in PD. This is especially true when filters are involved, since PD's 
filters are quite easy to "blow up". I've tried using the Zexy limiters 
and even a "normalizer" abstraction posted here some months ago but I'm 
still looking for the right solution. A compressing or normalizing 
method is far preferable to a clipping one, since I'm going for a more 
organic and less digital sound with the stuff I'm building right now. 
Any chance of posting the patch which made the "Resobass" sound?

thanks,
derek
