Curiosities — little detours where you can hear and see the ideas of this course in action. Pick one:
🔊 Hearing Signals & Systems
Pure tones, sums of sinusoids, sampling and aliasing — three core ideas, with your own ears. A 2006 lecture, now playable in the browser.
🎸 My First Guitar Synthesizer
A plucked string is just a transfer function: hear its impulse response, the frequency-dependent damping and the pluck-position comb — then a little tune.
🎵 Music for Thinking
The quiet soundscape on the exam clock is not a recording: a plucked string is a lossy feedback loop, two sinusoids a hair apart make it breathe, and the room around it is one convolution.
