[music-dsp] WDF Gyrator in BlockCompiler anyone ?

2012-05-02 Thread Rob Belcham

Hi List,
Does anyone have any experience with Wave Digital Filters, particularly using 
BlockCompiler from www.acoustics.hut.fi ? 
I'm working through the example transformer model in the paper Real-Time Audio 
Tranformer Emulation for Virtual Tube Amplifiers but I'm stuck with an aspect 
of the gyrator component of the windings circuits. 
It is stated that the gyrator port resistance for both of its ports is equal to 
N (the transformation ratio), but I can't figure out how to set the ratio for 
the .gyrator object in BlockCompiler, which doesn't have any parameters. 
I naively tried to create my own object based on the existing gyrator and added 
an N parameter. I have found that I can set the port resistance of the 
reflection free port (wa-port-block) but am unable to do the same for the 
w-port (non adaptive / RFP) because the resistance parameter is already 
connected - presumably to the resistance of the parallel adapter port that the 
gyrator is connected to. 
The original gyrator object just copies the port resistance from the w-port to 
the wa-port, so the port resistances are equal, but I can't see how this 
relates to the requirement of setting the port resistance to N. 
Can anyone advise me ?
RegardsRob

Hi,

I tried to use the block compiler,  though researchers from finland
(from the same research lab) do not recomend to use it anynmore,
since it became unstable and does not have support anymore since Dr
Karjalainen passed away (the creator of block compiler.
Newer WDF tools will soon be available.

Cheers

Thomaz

[music-dsp] Possible Job Opportunity

2012-05-02 Thread Al Clark

Hi Everyone.

Danville Signal specializes in DSP based hardware and 
software solutions (mostly around ADI SHARC  XMOS) aimed at 
OEMs. Much of our work is directed at high performance 
consumer and professional audio applications.


We have just started looking at the possibility of adding to 
our technical staff. We are considering a broad range of 
candidates, from recent graduates (electrical engineering or 
convince us otherwise) to seasoned experts.


Obviously, we are posting to this list because we want 
someone who has a strong passion for audio applications.


If you are interested, drop me an email with a short 
description of why we should start a conversation.  Tell us 
about audio projects you have participated in and what your 
contribution was.  Are you software oriented, hardware 
oriented or both? Can you solder? Do you speak or write 
well? In general, I hate resumes.


We are not interested in headhunters.

Thanks,


Al Clark

I did a research on that seminar you just presented

I know that the block compiler was good enough for simple models.
They worked up to a model of a tube audio transformer.  After that no
further work was produced, when it became unstable for complex models.
 Rafael paiva is working on a C++ environment for future WDF models
(rcdpa...@gmail.com ),  he could give you further feedback when it
will be ready.  Block compiler reads Clisp code which makes it somehow
difficult to use.

Cheers
