MODELING OF NONLINEAR AUDIO SYSTEMS USING SWEPT-SINE SIGNALS: APPLICATION TO AUDIO EFFECTS

In this paper a new method for analysis and modeling of nonlinear audio systems is presented. The method is based on swept-sine excitation signal and nonlinear convolution firstly presented in [1, 2]. It can be used in nonlinear processing for audio applications, to simulate analog nonlinear effects (distortion effects, limiters) in digital domain.
