semi-reversible ways to transform a signal

  • modulation: AM, FM, SSB -> demodulation AM, FM, SSB https://reactivemusic.net/?p=8885
  • FFT -> IFFT (use Max [fft~] and [ifft~] objects)
  • inverse -> inverse (phase cancellation) https://reactivemusic.net/?p=8879
  • reciprocal [!/~ 1] -> reciprocal (big difference in sound)
  • frequency shifting -> frequency shifting (use Max [freqshift~] object)
  • add constant to amplitude -> subtract constant from amplitude
  • DAC -> ADC
  • lossless encoding -> decoding (FLAC)
  • lossy encoding -> decoding (mp3)
  • packetize -> unpactetize
  • send stream -> receive stream
