[PD] Vanilla replacement for tanh~

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

> The tanh~.pd is working swell.

Are you using mine? why not just use [expr~ tanh($v1)]?

for the cheby filter, you'd need to know where are all the poles and zeros,
then you could do it with vanilla raw filters or maybe even a few biquad~
in cascade
