- Motivation: the amplitude modulation corresponds to certain kinds of nonlinearity of electronic devices. The Frequency/Phase modulation corresponds to "Shock Waves" by non-linear behavior of e.g. air: different speed of sound waves with different pressure.

(I already did a Frequency/Phase modulator JSFX that can be used here. See ReaPack.)
Hi,

I don't get it. Does it add imperfections? I loaded 10 of your delay modulators to a track and i noticed nothing.

Of course there are many influences of hardware devices that really just add a little bit of inaccuracies and sum up to a more "printed" sound. I often noticed how my own DAT recordings from the 90ies sound wonderful crisp and warm while the mixes weren't as good as today. The fun thing is, back then everybody wanted digital clearness but just to realize how cold and soulless it finally sounded.
