[PD] from poles/zeros to biquad coefficients - how to? (something like max's z-plane)

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

so you're basically saying all i need to use is use only the real part,
right?

my frankenstein was working and alive for several times until i tried some
bandpass coeff, let's se if i fix this now :)
