Feedback comb stores the input in its delay line · case 03

The impulse response has a single echo instead of a decaying train.

Case contract

Input [D, g, samples]: y[n] = x[n] + g y[n-D] using a D-slot ring buffer with zero initial state; "bad-delay" if D < 1, "unstable" if |g| >= 1. Return exact fraction strings.

Why this case matters

Feedback combs build resonators and reverberators; ring-buffer indexing slips change the delay and the pitch.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
