Analog Audio Effect

Analog audio effect modeling aims to digitally recreate the unique sounds of analog electronic circuits using computational methods, primarily focusing on accurately replicating the nuanced timbral characteristics of these devices. Current research heavily utilizes neural networks, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, State-Space models, and Linear Recurrent Units, exploring their strengths and weaknesses in modeling various effects like distortion, saturation, and phasers, while also addressing challenges like latency and noise sensitivity inherent in analog hardware implementations. These advancements are significant for both improving the realism of virtual instruments and audio processing software and for gaining a deeper understanding of the complex interactions within analog circuits themselves.
