I wish I was good at maths!  This makes it all look so simple, and it works well.

I guess with the corrected parameters, you can't get it to self-oscillate without Q really being infinite?  With the uncorrected parameters it seems to go "over unity" with Q set to about 10, but a soft clipper would stop it blowing up.

It behaves well if you interpolate the c1 and c2 values to sweep the filter across a block of samples, which is handy.
