What do you mean by break, crashes?  If yes, what version of libpd are you using?  Up until about a month ago, floating point exceptions (such as NAN) would crash libpd, whereas pd-vanilla ignores them.  Peter B. recently added a commit that changed this:<div>

I&#39;ve tried the rjlib filter attached (filtertest_list.tar.gz) and it works fine in Pd, but instantly breaks when I run it on the iPhone - all other playing audio cuts out, and it is impossible to reset.

 efficient CPU-wise. However, higher values of f or q cause the internal filter buffers to hit NAN and stay there (tested in Pd - I haven&#39;t tried this on the iPhone yet).</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div>
<span>I would ideally like to find out why the second attempt breaks at high q and/or f, as what I want is a 24dB/Octave moog-ish filter. I&#39;m sure those of you with higher math skills will intuitively know why, but I&#39;m just learning calculus now (my early education was a bit chaotic). I&#39;m also limited by the fact that this is for a commercial project (although I&#39;ll be happy to share the code :) so I can&#39;t just take a GPL external and recompiled libpd with it.<br>
