filtercoeff~
Description
The filtercoeff~ object is a signal-rate filter coefficient calculator for the biquad~ object. It calculates the filter coefficients from three higher-level parameters: frequency, amplitude and resonance (Q) or slope (S). Its internal calculations are based on those of the filtergraph~ object.
Examples

The filtercoeff~ object lets you send sample-accurate coefficients to biquad~
Arguments
default-filter-type [symbol]
Optional
A symbol argument may be used to set the default filter type (highpass, lowpass, etc...).
resampling-factor [int]
Optional
An optional second argument can be used to specify a resampling factor.
