The biquad~ math isn't extremely hard, but of course it's still hard
if you have no experience/knowledge about filter theory yet. Actually
there was a long discussion about biquad two or three weeks ago, you
may want to check the archive.

The quickest route to getting useful biquad~ coefficients without
going through the math would be the filter objects in the ggee-library
(CVS at /externals/ggee/filters). They implement the equations from
the Audio-cookbook. 

However [biquad~] doesn't have audio inputs to set the coeffs.
Alternatively you could use the elementary filters [rpole~], [rzero~]
etc. They accept signals for their parameters. Maybe I should sit down
and build a 2plp now ...

Ciao
