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, […]
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 […]
The PT2399 datasheet gives some data showing the relationship between the resistor on pin 6, the clock frequency, and the delay time. Unfortunately, it doesn’t offer any design equations relating these three variables. So, can we derive some? Yes, we can! They’re all included here. First, a quick summary of what I’ve learned, if you […]
