Hi Ed, I just tested your filtertest_list patch in RjDj and it worked exactly as expected. As Rich suggested maybe you're using an outdated version of libpd?
If Frank's around I'm sure he would know for certain but if I remember rightly the [u_lowpass] / [u_beequad] combination is not really designed for dynamically changing parameters. Maybe take a look at [e_reslop], [e_lop2] and [e_lop4] for some other filter implementations. Regarding your second attempt, at what frequency does it 'break' and what's your sampling rate?
