What’s a “compander”? It’s a simple way to make your circuit quieter! So how does it work? Let’s say we’ve got a fairly noisy effect, like a BBD. The basic idea is that you make quiet signals louder before you put them through the effect, and then you make them quiet again after the effect, and thereby make the noise quieter too. And that’s the clever bit! “Compander” is a compound of “Compressor” and “Expander”, since those are the two… Read more »
I’ve been curious about Chorus for a while, since I’ve been working on and off with chorus design myself. There were a few things I didn’t understand, like what the relationshp is between the modulation LFO’s waveshape and the frequency modulation of signals going through the chorus. You’d think that if you use a sinewave to modulate the BBD clock, you’d get a sinewave modulation of frequency, right? Wrong! So what do you get? At this point, I realised that… Read more »
