Foam pad controller
Paper: pdf
Abstract
A new instrument is introduced that emphasizes physical processes in
both its interface and software. The interface consists of a foam pad
that is bent by a performer, naturally providing important tactile and
visual feedback. Its design and implementation are described. It is
shown that while while work needs to be done to refine the design,
these initial efforts encourage further exploration.
Feedback Delay Network Reverberator

Above paper and source code:
zadel614project.tar.gz
This is an implementation of a feedback delay network reverberator. It is implemented in STK, but all the required components are included in the source tarball. There is a small graphical interface included which is written in Tcl/Tk.
FFT-1 synthesis

Above paper, source code, and wav examples:
zadel605finalproject.tar.gz (3.5mb)
This is a Matlab implementation of inverse FFT synthesis, which synthesizes sound starting from a frequency domain representation. Included are samples comparing the implementation with additive synthesis; there is some amount of timbral distortion present.
