Well, I still talked about filters. I think it's true that the Nebula filters do not capture time-variant behavior (that is, if the filter changes with time). But rather it's giving a static image on each frequency, which is still sounds quite convincing.Z1202 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2024 2:44 pmNot exactly, because a static system and dynamic system behaviors are generally different. E.g. imagine a delay. If you vary the delay time, you'll hear a changing pitch. Now try to achieve the same effect by merely crossfading between different delays instead. Smth tells me you won't be very successul. And we're still in the linear case, not even talking about nonlinearities (compare the sound of mixing pre- and post-distortion).soundmodel wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2024 2:42 pm But you get the output for each frequency for which you have the impulse response? Then a time-varying filter is just about mixing the output of each of such?
I think their dynamic models like delays and reverbs use some other related technique. They also have choruses and phasers, so certainly there's some depth to this.

I think the "Capturing Your Own Kernels" tool basically reveals what their techniques are. "Dynamic captures require you to decide on the number of levels and the dB step between them".
