Ok I got 'er working. Here's my code for 35 taps, interpolation of 5.


// "polyphase filter"
			int filtercount = 0;
			
			for (int ii=30; ii < outsamples.length; ii++)
			{
				short tempval = 0;
				
				// calc new value based on the 5 poly filters
				
				tempval = (short)((coefs[filtercount] * outsamples[ii-filtercount]) +
(coefs[filtercount+5] * outsamples[ii-(filtercount+5)]) +
(coefs[filtercount+10] * outsamples[ii-(filtercount+10)]) +
(coefs[filtercount+15] * outsamples[ii-(filtercount+15)]) +
(coefs[filtercount+20] * outsamples[ii-(filtercount+20)]) +
(coefs[filtercount+25] * outsamples[ii-(filtercount+25)]) +
(coefs[filtercount+30] * outsamples[ii-(filtercount+30)]));
				
							
				newdata[ii] = tempval;
			
				filtercount++;
				if (filtercount > 4) filtercount= 0;
				
			}
