Waveguides can sound amazing

Digital waveguides are an extension of the Karplus-Strong algorithm, named and developed by Julius O. Smith III. A digital waveguide is a sampled traveling-wave simulation for waves in ideal strings or acoustic tubes. In this sound design tutorial, I'm building a patch based on the documentation I've found online at https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/pasp/..., and of what I had in my head already.
