Matlab Sinusoidal Oscillator Implementations

This section provides Matlab/Octave program listings for the sinusoidal resonator/oscillator algorithms discussed above:

• Planar 2D Rotation (2DR) (``complex multiply'')
• Modified Coupled Form (MCF) (``Magic Circle'')
• Digital Waveguide Resonator (DWR)

Note that the chop utility only exists in Matlab. In Octave, the following ``compatibility stub'' can be used:

function [y] = chop(x,nd,base)
y = x;
