Re: Entropy

At least the downed trees weren’t total, and there was something to string between. My mother still hangs everything out, definitely the only person anywhere near her.

Re: The Waveulator: Two VCA-based Clipper Saturators

Interesting points. +1 on the speaker ultimately moving out/pressure wave with positive signal polarity. If the signal is inverted with greater negative excursion what do you hear change? Similar to what you hear with flipping polarity on asymmetric sources like vocals or horns, a more present inte...

Re: The Waveulator: Two VCA-based Clipper Saturators

I suppose there’s a completely different dynamic in play compared to the usual even order production path. My experience with asymmetric limiting has been CSF Volumax units which are PP transistor circuits, and those are great on things like drums to make greater positive speaker excursion. I can se...

Agreed, but the unwashed masses do crazy things. More frequently than not.

Re: The Waveulator: Two VCA-based Clipper Saturators

Agreed, glad to see this resurrected. I can’t think of a +27 converter input offhand. So many now have input reference scaling too. Not many things would drive that well anyway. I’ll add the Serpent SB4001 compressor has a button to increase 2nd harmonics which I’ve resisted using as i track through...
