vst 0.4.0

//! This zero-delay feedback filter is based on a 4-stage transistor ladder filter.
//! It follows the following equations:
//! x = input - tanh(self.res * self.vout[3])
//! vout[0] = self.params.g.get() * (tanh(x) - tanh(self.vout[0])) + self.s[0]
//! vout[1] = self.params.g.get() * (tanh(self.vout[0]) - tanh(self.vout[1])) + self.s[1]
//! vout[0] = self.params.g.get() * (tanh(self.vout[1]) - tanh(self.vout[2])) + self.s[2]
//! vout[0] = self.params.g.get() * (tanh(self.vout[2]) - tanh(self.vout[3])) + self.s[3]
//! since we can't easily solve a nonlinear equation,
//! Mystran's fixed-pivot method is used to approximate the tanh() parts.
//! Quality can be improved a lot by oversampling a bit.
//! Feedback is clipped independently of the input, so it doesn't disappear at high gains.
