  1. Guitar Effects Generator Using DSP By: Alex Czubak Gorav Raheja Advisor: Dr. Thomas L. Stewart

  2. Outline Of Presentation • Project Summary • Patents and Standards • Detailed Project Description • Equipment And Parts List • Schedule Of Tasks

  3. Project Summary • Creation of sound effects using digital signal processing • Guitar sends audio signal • Signal is modified and processed on DSP through effects filters • User controls which effects and to what degree through GUI

  4. Patents • US Patent 6664460 – System for customizing musical effects using digital signal processing techniques, December 16, 2003 • US Patent 0147050 – System for simulating sound engineering effects, July 6, 2006

  5. Project Description • Guitars and Amplifier • DSP Board • GUI • Filter Designs

  6. Project Description • Guitars and Amplifier • DSP Board • GUI • Filter Designs

  7. Guitars • #1- Squier Stratocaster • 3 single-coil pickups • Produce clean lean sound • 60hz noise signal along with audio signal

  8. Guitars Stratocaster FFT

  9. Guitars • #2-Squier Telecaster Custom • Two humbucker pickups • Two single coils with opposite polarities to cancel the hum • Outputs a warmer and broader sound

  10. Guitars Telecaster Custom FFT

  11. Amplifier • Fender Frontman 15R Guitar Amplifier • External Reverberation Potentiometer set to 0 so designed Reverberation effects can be tested • Distortion channel, ignored to test designed filter • Output: 15 watts into 8 ohms

  12. Project Description • Guitars and Amplifier • DSP Board • GUI • Filter Designs

  13. DSP Specifications • DSP board used to convert signals from audio to digital and to create effects in digitalized format before returning signal to analog and being played. • A/D converter – starts audio analog conversion to digitalized signal • Effects- various effects put on the digitalized signal which starts with noise filter • D/A converter – follows all the effects to put back in analog format

  14. DSP Specifications • A/D and D/A conversion shall sample at either 44,100 samples/sec or 48,000 samples/sec. • Conversion, processing, re-conversion should take at most 1/sampling rate (real-time and recorded signals). • Frequency ranges from 20Hz-20Khz (all human-audible frequencies). • Typically, audio is converted to a 16-bit digital representation, so this shall be the complexity of the digital signal.

  15. DSP Model

  16. Project Description • Guitars and Amplifier • DSP Board • GUI • Filter Designs

  17. GUI Specifications • GUI designed on computer • Easier to set up in native Windows environment • Has to interface with DSP Board • Drop down menu containing each filter • Default filter is distortion • Each filter shall have different options regarding the filters and a check box to designate if the filter is on or off. • Reverberation shall contain two value inputs- one for the delay order and one for the gain in the delay line.

  18. GUI Specifications cont. • Delay/Echo shall contain a slider and text box controlling the duration of the delay. • Octaver contains only a check box • Volume Envelope contains a slider and text box controlling how fast the sound reaches full potential after string is struck • Chorus shall contain a slider and text box controlling the intensity of the effect and number of copied signals up to 4

  19. GUI Specifications cont. • Flanger contains a slider and text box adjusting the delay rate of the signal • Phase shifter contains a slider and text box controlling the intensity of the phase change

  22. Digital Effects • Noise Filter • Distortion • Reverberation • Delay/Echo • Octaver • Volume Envelope • Chorus • Flanger • Phase Shifter

  23. Noise Filter • Only filter not User-defined • Set to attenuate at 60 Hz from noise found in single-coil pickups • Notch filter shall be used in order to pass all other frequencies. • Gain set to 1 so filter does not distort incoming signal

  24. Distortion • Decides what amplitude limits will be and how much gain to add to the signal • Gain amount shall boost the signal • Amplitude limit shall clip the signal • Values of gain shall range from 1 to 10, with 1 causing minimal clipping and 10 causing maximum clipping

  25. Reverberation • Magnitude response in frequency domain shall be 1 for all frequencies. • User will decide the delay and gain block values for the filter (on scale of 1-10) • Higher the gain value, the longer the sustain shall be

  28. Reverb Test Filter Results

  29. Delay/Echo • Shall determine the next occurrence of the signal played. • Time range the user can input shall be from 50 milliseconds to 5 seconds • 10-millisecond intervals

  30. Octaver • Filter shall act as a full-wave rectifier • This will double the frequency, causing the note to sound one octave higher. • On/Off selection will be used for this on the filter

  31. Volume Envelope • Allows the signal to gradually reach full value, taking out the initial attack of the notes • Sound is similar to a note being played backwards • Time for the signal to reach full value the user can input shall be from 10 milliseconds to 100 milliseconds at 1-millisecond intervals.

  32. Chorus • Allows a multiple-guitar sound • Filter shall copy the signal and pass the copied signal through a delay from 30 to 40 ms • User shall determine how many other signals are generated up to 4 and the rates of delay of each signal

  33. Flanger • Copies the signal and delays the copy by varying values less than 20 milliseconds • The signal shall then be added back to the original signal, creating an audible sweeping effect • The output may be fed back to create deeper • Limit of delay shall be between 5 and 15 milliseconds, shifting 1ms every defined amount of time • Scale from 1 to 10, 1 representing delay change every 2 seconds and 10 representing delay changing every 200 milliseconds

  34. Phase Shifter • Signal copied, copy is modified, and the two signals are added together • Phase is shifted on the copy rather than delaying the signal. • This shall be created by passing the copied signal through eight cascaded all-pass filters with a feedback loop. • User shall configure the filter by choosing the depth of the notches created in the frequency response when two signals are added.

  35. Equipment List • MATLAB software w/ Simulink and Signal Processing Toolbox • Texas Instruments DSP board • Computer used in Lab • Fender Frontman 15R Guitar Amplifier • Squier Stratocaster Affinity Series Electric Guitar • Squier Telecaster Custom Series Electric Guitar
