[PD] biquad~ with elementary filters [was: Re: dinosaurs ...]

[Frank Barknecht]

Hallo Chuck,

thank you soo much! All is clear now. It seems I already was close or
at least on the right path. The check for real roots is very nice as
well, I had a bad feeling ignoring them completely and just crossing
fingers in my patch.

Now it isn't difficult anymore to replace the message calculations
with signal objects and make a biquad with all signal inlets, for
example for Damian's dinosaurs abstractions, that are are using the
Biquad Cookbook [1] formulas for various filter types. 

I wonder if dealing with the cookbook includes unnecessary
conversions? The cookbook calculates parameters for the transfer
function (ff1, ff2, ...) from frequency, gain and Q settings, which
can be used in [biquad~] directly, but must be converted to poles and
zeros for elementary filters. Calculating the poles and zeros directly
from frequency, gain and Q should be much simpler, wouldn't it? An
Elementary-Filter-Cookbook would be a nice project.

Thanks again.
