But the [moog~] object that I see here on Pd extended was written by gunter
Geiger.

Dan Wilcox also wanted that as I remember. If you care to help me we could
try and do it. I kinda suck at math and all but when I put my mind into it
I can do these things I never knew I could :) I've been implementing
several filters with [fexpr~] and/or vanilla's raw pole/zero filters. I've
kinda done them all, [moog~] is the next on my list.

But I probably won't get into this until the 2nd half of january, as I plan
to go to some island for my summer break.

cheers and happy new year.
