wow - this is a bit above my head at the moment. i can go from equations in 
C to pd, but only if i have the equations themselves to look at...

anyway it would be great to have a pure-pd [biquad~] with signal input. 
it's the resonance and ability to control the Q that i'm really after, plus 
the ability to nice tricks (cf [hlshelf] which combines a high and low 
shelf filter into one [biquad~], saving cpu). [lop~] and [hip~] do the 
trick for simple filtering but when you want a squelchy resonant lowpass 
for bass triangle wav filtering, they don't cut it..
