Abstract
This is a study on a set of feedback amplitude modulation oscillator
equations. It is based on a very simple and inexpensive algorithm
which is capable of generating a complex spectrum from
a sinusoidal input. We examine the original and five variations
on it, discussing the details of each synthesis method. These include
the addition of extra delay terms, waveshaping of the feedback
signal, further heterodyning and increasing the loop delay.
In complement, we provide a software implementation of these
algorithms as a practical example of their application and as
demonstration of their potential for synthesis instrument design.
