Digital audio effects are used by many electric guitar players. These effects help players to find their desired tones and sounds. Digital audio workstations (DAW) and Virtual studio technologies (VST) advance the development of guitar audio effects softwares. The aim of this thesis is to implement main linear guitar effects (delay, reverb, wah-wah, flanger) real-time and enhance the main nonlinear guitar effects (distortion, overdrive) using system identification methods. After the verification of the effect models with MATLAB, real-time implementations of these effects will be done using C/C++/C# software languages. For the modelling of main nonlinear guitar effects, distortion and overdrive, this thesis investigates current methods of static modelling and dynamic nonlinear state space solutions. After discussion of previous models, this thesis introduces a new method of distortion modelling with system identification called Enhanced Modelling of Guitar Distortion. Enhanced Modelling of Guitar Distortion algorithm will use neural network system identification method ANFIS (Adaptive-Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System). ANFIS is used as a system identification tool in Enhanced Modelling of Guitar Distortion algorithm. This algorithm takes the guitar output signal and pre-amplifies the input with 12AX7 vacuum tube amplifier simulation model to obtain clean channel. ANFIS system identification block is trained using desired distortion effect input output pair. This training and learning results into a ANFIS (Adaptive-Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System) structure that can be used for processing future inputs. Using clean channel output as an input to the ANFIS structure, lead channel output is obtained. Real-time implementations of distortion and overdrive will be done using C/C++/C# software languages. The results of the Enhanced Modelling of Guitar Distortion algorithm will show if it is applicable to model distortion and overdrive effects using system identification approach. Listening tests will be done to provide evidence that the simulation models are successful. Strict real-time constraints are going to be satisfied and the simulation of a guitar amplifier will be presented.

Design and implementation of a dsp based active noise controler for headsets
Tokatlı, Ahmet; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
The design of a battery-powered, portable headphone active noise control system with TI TMS320C5416 DSP is described. The preliminary implementation of the system on a C5416 DSK is also explained. The problems of fixed-point implementation are described and solutions are proposed. Sign-sign Fx-LMS algorithm with a dead-zone is introduced and used as the adaptation algorithm. Effective use of dynamic range to improve the accuracy in filtering operations is discussed. Details of the designed battery-powered D...
Stereophonic rendering of source distance using DWM FDN artificial reverberators
Mate Cid, Saul; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Cvetkovic, Zoran (2010-05-22)
Artificial reverberators are used in audio recording and production to enhance the perception of spaciousness. It is well known that reverberation is a key factor in the perception of the distance of a sound source. The ratio of direct and reverberant energies is one of the most important distance cues. A stereophonic artificial reverberator is proposed that allows panning the perceived distance of a sound source. The proposed reverberator is based on feedback delay network (FDN) reverberators and uses a pe...
Cmos LNA design for system-on-chip receiver stages
Telli, A; Askar, M (2004-09-10)
In this study, narrowband single-ended inductive source degenerated Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) for "System-on-Chip" receiver stages have been designed, simulated and compared using Mietec CMOS 0.7 mu m process and the Cadence/BSIM3v3 tool with active or L-biased DC-bias circuitries. Since there is an intension to use LNAs for GSM and S-band low earth orbit (LEO) space applications, the operating frequencies have been chosen as 900MHz, 2025 MHz and 2210 MHz.
Thin-Film PZT based Multi-Channel Acoustic MEMS Transducer for Cochlear Implant Applications
Yüksel, Muhammed Berat; Külah, Haluk (2021-01-01)
AuthorThis paper presents a multi-channel acoustic transducer that works within the audible frequency range (250-5500 Hz) and mimics the operation of the cochlea by filtering incoming sound. The transducer is composed of eight thin film piezoelectric cantilever beams with different resonance frequencies. The transducer is well suited to be implanted in middle ear cavity with an active volume of 5 mm × 5 mm × 0.62 mm and mass of 4.8 mg. Resonance frequencies and piezoelectric outputs of the bea...
