Re: summing mixer with monitor control
OK, good. Removing the 300R in front of the 1646 should improve both it's noise floor and output balance.

Re: summing mixer with monitor control
Thanks for posting this matthias. The design does look very simple, clean and useful. One thing I would examine is R76 and the 300R source impedance (at LF) that is presented to the 1646 input. Ideally you'd like to see something driving a 1646 that's <<100R and ideally directly from the output of a...

Re: Another claim on first use of artificial reverb
I'm finding this hard to believe. Seems like most engineers would have figured it out as soon as they heard it.The other record companies went crazy trying to figure out what we'd done."

DOD Stereo Flanger Doubler R870 Schematic
I was going through some stuff that JR sent me and found this DOD R870 schematic. Thanks for the databook and notes John. I'm organizing my own collection, the books that crazynightowl gave me, and what you sent. I hope to get the more interesting finds scanned and linked. This one's a start: https:...

Re: A VCA-Based Phaser
I just got around to recording a quick 4 pole demo using four cascaded all-pass sections shown below. The final output is direct + all-pass mono output also summed using a THAT1240. The middle control range (and octaves) were used for this particular cut making it sound a little dark and thin. At ab...

Re: A VCA-Based Phaser
So far I've used identical C values per pole with them cascaded in series. The phase delay per section is the same and adds. It seems to sound better - deeper to me at least - than when the values are mixed. (During test I tried this.) Most of the phaser cites I see use identical values though it's ...

Re: A VCA-Based Phaser
I've tried values between 220 pF and 47 nF depending on the topology. 220 pF seems to offer the widest range using only VCA attenuation in the Hoshuyama topology. I determined this by looking at an FFT of the notch on white noise. Really large values, say 47 nF, compress most of the range in the sub...

Re: A VCA-Based Phaser
OK, I've been playing with this for a few days and the Hoshuyama topology is the way to go. Sam Hoshuyama was very kind to allow me to modify and use his SSM2164-based circuit. With the help of Gary Hebert of THAT to transform it to a non-inverting VCA, I was able to protoboard a 4 pole phaser. I'll...

Re: A VCA-Based Phaser
This may be an earlier citation for an SSM2164 based phaser from Osamu Hoshuyama. It's dated before Neil's Webbly World phaser. http://userdisk.webry.biglobe.ne.jp/000/024/65/1/Vcph0505.GIF With some help from someone more skilled than I, I was able to modify the Hoshuyama circuit to use a THAT2180....

Re: A VCA-Based Phaser
Yep, the Vos of an untrimmed 5534, though not a lot, at 6 mV/dB can provide significant tracking error in Ec.
