@section{description}

A linear-interpolating sound generator based on the difference equations:

teletype::
	x(n+1) = 1 - y(n) + |x(n)|
	y(n+1) = x(n)
::

The behavior of the system is dependent only on its initial conditions and cannot be changed once it's started.

sclang code translation:


@racketblock[
(
var xi = 1.2, yi = 2.1, size = 64;
plot(size.collect { var x; xi = 1 - yi + abs(x = xi); yi = x; xi });
)
::
