Time-varying complex comb filter: shakers</A>

<P>
|
|
Example G07.shaker.pd (Figure <A HREF="#fig07.30">7.30</A>) shows a different way of extending the
|
|
idea of a comb filter. Here we combine the input signal at four different
|
|
time shifts (instead of two, as in the original non-recirculating comb filter),
|
|
each at a different positive or negative gain. To do this, we insert the
|
|
input signal into a delay line and tap it at three different points; the
|
|
fourth "tap" is the original, un-delayed signal.

|

|
|
<P>
|
|
As a way of thinking about the frequency response of a four-tap comb filter,
|
|
we consider first what happens when two of the four gains are close to zero.
|
|
Then we end up with a simple non-recirculating comb filter, with the slight
|
|
complication that the gains of the two delayed copies may be different. If they
|
|
are both of the same sign, we get the same peaks and valleys as predicted
|
|
in Section <A HREF="node108.html#sect7.network">7.3</A>, only with the valleys between peaks possibly
|
|
more shallow. If they are opposite in sign, the valleys become peaks and
|
|
the peaks become valleys.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Depending on which two taps we supposed were nonzero, the peaks and valleys are
|
|
spaced by different amounts; the delay times are chosen so that 6 different
|
|
delay times can arise in this way, ranging between 6 and 30 milliseconds. In
|
|
the general case in which all the gains are non-zero, we can imagine the
|
|
frequency response function varying continuously between these extremes, giving
|
|
a succession of complicated patterns. This has the effect of raising and
|
|
lowering the amplitudes of the partials of the incoming signal, all
|
|
independently of the others, in a complicated pattern, to give a steadily
|
|
time-varying timbre.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The right-hand side of the patch takes care of changing the gains of the
|
|
input signal and its three time-shifted copies. Each time the <TT>metro</TT> object
|
|
fires, a counter is incremented (the <TT>f</TT>, <TT>+ 1</TT>, and
|
|
<TT>mod 4</TT> objects). This controls which of the amplitudes will be changed.
|
|
The amplitude itself is computed by making a random number and normalizing it to
|
|
lie between -0.7 and 1.3 in value. The random value and the index are packed
|
|
(along with a third value, a time interval) and this triple goes to the
|
|
<TT>route</TT> object. The first element of the triple (the
|
|
counter) selects which output to send the other two values to; as a result,
|
|
one of the four possible <TT>line~</TT> objects gets a message to ramp to
|
|
a new value.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
If the time variation is done quickly enough, there is also a modulation
|
|
effect on the original signal; in this situation the straight line segments
|
|
used in this example should be replaced by modulating signals with more
|
|
controllable frequency content, for instance using filters (the
|
|
subject of Chapter 8).
