Are you using mine? why not just use [expr~ tanh($v1)]?

for the cheby filter, you'd need to know where are all the poles and zeros, then you could do it with vanilla raw filters or maybe even a few biquad~ in cascade

The tanh~.pd is working swell.

Would you all be able to suggest a replacement for the lp8_cheb~? I needed to replace three non-vanilla items

1.) tanh~

2.) make symbol [zexy]

3.) lp8_cheb~

I am trying to convert an algorithmic patch by a gentleman named Scott Norlund and these are the only problems from a rather couple patch. 

Also, is there a work-around for "inits"? 

Thank you all very much for the wonderful help

yes, you need to use a [clip~ -3 3] to restrict the input.  But the function converges to +0.999999 and -0.999999 or whatever by then anyway, so for all practical purposes it is fine.

I've never seen that approximation before but there must be some
restriction on the allowable values of X since the expression diverges
for large positive or negative values of x, while tanh(x) converges to
+1 nad -1, respectively.
