The guitar feedback effect, or howling, is well known to the general public and identified with many rock music genres and it is the only case of acoustic feedback employed for musical purposes.

Abstract
The guitar feedback effect, or howling, is well known to the general public and identified with many rock music genres and it is the only case of acoustic feedback employed for musical purposes. Virtual Acoustic Feedback (VAF), is regarded as the extension of this phenomenon to any instrument or sound source by means of virtual acoustics and is meant to enrich the sound palette of a musician. The study of the acoustic feedback as a musical tool and computational techniques for its emulation have been scarcely addressed in literature. In this paper a nonlinear feedback oscillator is proposed and its properties derived. The oscillator does not necessarily need to be connected to a virtual instrument, thus enables to process any kind of pitched real-time input.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
