Title: Mixing LFOs before clock generator VS mixing signal after
Post by: Yuan Han on April 04, 2004, 04:26:06 AM
Heyo,
I've been doing abit reading on BBDs and something crossed my mind:

I used to have a Marshall Supervibe which allowed the change (presumably a mix) of sine vs square waveforms for the LFO.( which actually didn't really make a big difference)

1)Now that involved mixing the LFO signal that goes to the clock chip, which will modulate the delay, blahblah, creating a chorus.

2)If we were to have 2 seperate BBD lines, running on different LFOs, then mixing the resultant signals, would it be the same as in case 1) ?

They seem similar to me, but then case 2) would allow for different "base" delay time for the other BBD line (inboth cases, the freq and amplitude of each LFO can be adjusted individually anyway), so this seems like the only difference I can see.

Suppositely dimension D (C ?) or some pedal did something like in 2) ?

p.s pardon me if i'm miles off :P

It may not have been a mix, it might have been a matter of progressively overdriving and "flattening" a sine, I do this in my optical theremin as a kind of tone control.
