Download Guitar Preamp Simulation Using Connection Currents
This paper deals with a method of decomposition of a nonlinear audio circuit based on so called connection currents. These currents are used to connect inner blocks of the audio circuit with regards to preserve mutual interaction between adjoined blocks. Although this approach requires usage of numerical algorithm to solve the nonlinear equations, it reduces number of nonlinear equations to be solved if the solution of inner blocks is approximated while the accuracy of simulation is comparable to numerical solution of the whole nonlinear audio circuit.
Download Bit Bending: an Introduction
We introduce the technique of "Bit Bending," a particularly fertile technique for circuit bending which involves short circuits and manipulations upon digital serial information. We present a justification for computer modeling of circuit-bent instruments, with deference to the movement's aversion to "theory-true" design and associations with chance discovery [1]. To facilitate software modeling of Bit Bending, we also present a software library for modeling certain classes of digital integrated circuits. A synthesis architecture case study (frequency modulation via numerically controlled oscillators) demonstrates software modeling of Bit Bending in action.
