hello all, as promised, here are the first sound examples created with a 4096 stages version of the forthcoming a188/1 bbd module. the basic audio paths are the same as in the former examples: vco -> vca -> bbd -> out vco -> vca -> bbd -> vcf -> out the vco is an a110, still playing the same 16 note sequence. the waveform is triangle. the vca is an a131, controlled by an a143/2 adsr envelope. 1. this is the vca output signal, which is used as audio input for the a188/1 in the following examples. http://www.selfoscillate.de/a100files/source-triangle-seq1.mp3 file size: 112 kb. 2. 16 step sequence modulates the delay time (the same sequence as in the examples for the 256/512 stages versions). first you hear the pure bbd output, then a 48 db lowpass-filtered version (a108) without the clock-noise. http://www.selfoscillate.de/a100files/a188-1-4096-sequenced1.mp3 file size: 401 kb. 3. delay time is controlled by an a149/1. as above, first you hear the pure bbd output, then a 48 db lowpass-filtered version (a108) without clock-noise. http://www.selfoscillate.de/a100files/a188-1-4096-rnd1.mp3 file size: 403 kb. 4. now some feedback loops :-) the bbd clock runs at a fixed frequency of around 12,5 khz, resulting in a delay time of approximately 325 ms. the bbd output is filtered with a 48db lowpass filter (a108) to get rid of the clock noise. an a127 triple bandpass filter is patched into the feedback loop of the a188/1. http://www.selfoscillate.de/a100files/a188-1-4096-feedback-a127.mp3 file size: 306 kb. 5. the bbd clock runs at a fixed frequency of around 10 khz, resulting in a delay time of approximately 410 ms. the bbd output is filtered with a 48db lowpass filter (a108) to kill the clock noise. an a122 lowpass vcf is patched into the feedback loop of the a188/1. the a122 cutoff frequency is modulated by an a147 lfo, while the a122 resonance is modulated by an adsr envelope. http://www.selfoscillate.de/a100files/a188-1-4096-feedback-a122.mp3 file size: 223 kb. 6. the bbd clock runs at a fixed frequency of around 30 khz, resulting in a delay time of approximately 135 ms. no clock filter is used here, you hear the pure bbd output. an a106/1 xtreme vcf (lowpass) is patched into the feedback loop of the a188/1. the a106/1 cutoff is varied by an a147 lfo and pitch cv (keytracking). http://www.selfoscillate.de/a100files/a188-1-4096-feedback-a1061.mp3 file size: 557 kb. best wishes ingo
