[sdiy] Pole Mixing

[David Moylan]

A bit hard to follow here, Andrew. Your main transfer function looks the 
same to mine if g=1, except that you have the k term included in the 
denominator but not the numerator.  In general, my denominator looks 
like yours with the k term, and in the numerator the feedback only 
changes the term on s^0 which goes from

a - b + c - d + e;

to

(a * (1 - k)) - b + c - d + e;

David Dixon shared his Excel spreadsheet with me, so verify with that as 
well.
