What would happen if I bred a pure silkie roo with a pure show quality bantam cochin? Would the result be a satin or do satin only come from smooth frizzled. To get satins should I get a frizzled bantam cochin?

Woah, I did not know this!it won't have silkie feathering.
The 'satin' is not a breed, it is just a mixed feathering type between silkie and hard feathers. To the touch, this feathering is exceptionally soft and downy, but not like silkie fur where each strand is ragged.
Frizzle is something different. It just means a gene that makes feathers point up instead of down. Many breeds can have frizzle feathering.
I can post some examples as I have chicks from a silkie rooster over other breeds including a frizzle polish.

and of course the silkie frizzle polish cross, which you could describe as satin frizzle feathering.
