The persisted value is the +normalized knob position, so a rate-derived endpoint would make one preset sound different +at 44.1k and 96k. The Nyquist clamp (`kFilterNyquistFraction`, 0.48) is a property of the +bilinear transform — `tan(pi*fc/sr)` diverges at Nyquist — so it lives in `biquadCoeffs` +where the rate is already a parameter. 20 kHz is under 0.48·sr at every supported rate, so +the clamp never eats live knob travel; the source's hardcoded 23 kHz endpoint did exactly +that at 44.1k. + +`biquadCoeffs` with a non-positive sample rate returns pass-through coefficients.

The source's `Q = M_SQRT1_2 + resonance` mapping (floored at 0.707, no +center anchor) was **rewritten, not ported**. The curve is quadratic in log Q through the +three anchors rather than two spliced log segments — same anchors either way, but no slope +kink at the center detent. The quadratic term is nonzero only because √2 is not the +geometric mean of 0.1 and 10; `filterNormFromQ` divides by it. + +### The high-pass input feedback is load-bearing + +`kHighPassFeedbackShare` (0.24) times the raw **normalized** resonance, not Q — Q reaches +10 and scaling the feedback by it would push loop gain past unity. The high-pass numerator +collapses toward zero as cutoff falls, taking the resonance with it; the saturated +feedback restores the character down there. Ported behavior; the constant is the tuning +knob if the feel needs adjusting. `audio_saturate` and `H()` from the source were unused +by the biquads and were not ported. + +### Denormal flushing + +`process()` flushes the **y** history to exact zero below `kFilterDenormalFloor` (1e-30). +Only the recursive half needs it: a denormal in `y` self-sustains and stalls the FPU for +thousands of samples on a ringing-out voice, while the `x` history is an FIR tail that +shifts out within two samples. `isSilent()` reports the flushed state and is the honest +signal that a voice's filter can no longer contribute output. + +## Gotchas + +- **The tan pre-warp is not a different filter.** By the half-angle identity + `cos(w0) = (1-w²)/(1+w²)` and `sin(w0) = 2w/(1+w²)` with `w = tan(pi*fc/sr)`, these are + the textbook RBJ cos/sin coefficients exactly — just computed in a form that stays + conditioned at low cutoff where `cos(w0) → 1`. `tests/test_filter.cpp` asserts the + equivalence against an independent derivation.
