Okay, that's easy (or can be looked up e.g. here: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/sqrquad2.htm ) > 2.

Then, solve for fb1, fb2, ff1, ff2, ff3 in terms of the poles/zero > locations from (2) After (2) I have something like this: x = (-b +- sqrt(b*b - 4*a*c)) / 2*a zf = (-ff2 +- sqrt(ff2*ff2 - 4*ff1*ff3)) / 2*ff1 zb = (-fb1 +- sqrt(fb1*fb1 - 4*fb2)) / 2 This gives me four complex numbers zf+, zf-, zb+ and zb-, right? Now in a biquad~-clone with czero~/cpole~, the values for fb1, fb2, ff1, ff2, ff3 would be known so I also could calculate zf and zb now. But what I still don't get is how to feed this into a patch as below as coefficients to make a biquad~ clone: [*~] ? | | ? ? [czero~] | | | | ? ? [czero~] | | | | ? ? [cpole~] | | | | ? ? [cpole~] This still has several question marks. :( Ciao -- Frank _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
