Yep, there's a few synthesis techniques like 1/1+cos(x^n)
eee, do you mean 1/(1+cos(pow(x,n))), or do you mean 1/(1+pow(cos(x),n)) ?
and then, why would it want a zero there ?
Not sure to what extent it's still true but NaN used to royally screw up some versions of Jack and ALSA, requiring a complete restart of the audio stack.
I'm speculating that if they run an unprotected equivalent of [lop~] or [hip~] in their own code at any point, it sets the feedback variable to something that will never fade out, and then everything gets clipped to +1 or -1. (do they have recursive filters in there ?)
