Here is a potential bug report, is someone can confirm the behaviour.

    The clear message does not work without restarting the DSP chain.

    2. boost the b1 factor to blow the filter (poc!)

    The dsp chain should resume with the filter reset.

    The filter is still blown! To resume, stop and start the dsp..

	1. open biquad~ help
	2. boost the b1 factor to blow the filter (poc!)
	3. bring the b1 factor to 0.
	4. press clear.

I'll add some experiences I made with blown patches: even switching 

on/off audio couldn't bring some of them back, I usually have to close 

I never had the time to track it down that's why I never reported

anything. But recovering blown dsp seems to have a problem.

My ears tell me there is a high dc (possibly maximum instead of NAN)

the patch and reload.

I'm having trouble with biquad~. It seems that it introduces, sometimes, a high DC when I change the cut-off frequency through a filtergraph.

If you know this bug and you know how to work around, it could be usefull for me because, actually, this object is no use for me in these conditions... I need to clear the biquad~ to remove the DC which is very anoying in a live performance or when the biquad~ is in one poly~ among others...

I solved my problem with biquad~: sending a cut-off of 22050 is not a good idea even it is theorically correct so I limit the cut-off frequency to 22000 and everything looks fine.

Still, I have problems of DC in another patch with cascade~.

Bizarre, but I can't actually get the filter to blow on my system... I can't figure out why not - anyway - no matter how high I push b1 it won't blow....

I suspect maybe something quite different is happening under intel when the feedback goes above the max float value - the values I've got coming out are pretty big - just not max - and I can't set up a situation which blows the filter - returning the b1 factor to 0 always results in correct output.

wow, this is a very, very old post... like 5 or 6 months ago!

Funny, I have not tried this under my new Intel-based machine, and 

you are right, it does not blow. It freaks out, then when returned 

to normal the clear button is not even needed...

biquad~ 'clear' message bug report?
