Re: tuning filter with key amt

I wish I could tell you, but I honestly don't know. I was trying 
stuff like that out and I discovered all of those functions plus a 
couple others, but I couldn't figure out exactly what each one is. I 
emailed Dave about it and he told me, but that email has gone the way 
of the dodo :( I'm sure he'd tell you if you asked him, in fact the 
answer might be in some documentation somewhere, I don't know.
