Students are expected to already be familiar with basic aspects of discrete-time audio signal processing;
That said, the material presented here is intended to provide a minimum level of understanding of how digital filters are characterized and implemented in Matlab;
As well, the general idea of characterizing a system in terms of its time-domain impulse response and corresponding frequency response will be essential throughout the course.
Delay Lines:
Digital delay lines will be used extensively in this course to simulate wave propagation over time and/or space.
As well, we will see that several different effects algorithms can be implemented with delay lines.
