Some Physical Audio Effects

Edgar Berdahl and Julius O. Smith III


Sound examples:
The sound of manual plucks as the loop gain is increased from zero.
A plucked guitar string with electromechanically induced vibrato.
(There is no decay of the tone due to the compressor in the feedback loop.)
A plucked guitar string with electromechanically induced vibrato.
(The decay is due to k_G being decreased toward zero over time.)
The first clip in this sample is the chromatic scale as in the paper.
The second clip is a solo line being played with the effect.
