Ok, but in terms of the physics, those nuances all come down to the shape of the attack, continual pitch shifts for bends, shape of the release and the sustain. It can all be described with one time-dependent variable.

With the right rule system or even supervised training on Hedges himself, an algorithm could generate such waveforms.
