"ALGORITHMS:Acoustic guitar subtleties re-created by DSP"

Guitarists usually associate digital signal processing with electric, rather than acoustic, guitars, especially after early attempts to apply DSPs to acoustic instruments led to modeling effects that kept the guitars from performing as advertised.
Now Fishman Transducers Inc. says it has repurposed the Analog Devices Inc. Blackfin DSP to perform "digital acoustic imaging" instead of modeling, making acoustic guitars with an inexpensive piezoelectric pickup sound as if they were in a pristine studio in front of an expensive condenser microphone.
