haven't had a lot of time
but we don't need time, we're already in eternity.
some clever man's quote i remember reading on a Kosjer D album sometime during the 9ties.
i'll look up that name later rather than sooner.
tried different blending options and filters, and decided - in order to finish this thing this century - to stick with the original filters (aka the tuba and string presets) on voice A. although some parts of those are still waiting to be tweaked.
the arpeggiator voice didn't sound too hot through those filters, but i'll probably be giving it a dedicated output so i can run it through whatever external filter i damn well please. same reason i'm giving A a straight option as well - no filtering.
i tried blending the 3 sounds (straight/string/tuba) with 3 pots but it didn't amount to much, so they're back on a switch now.
reading up on buffers (inverting/non inverting), needed for separation between the straight and filtered sound.
filters loaded the original so much it wasn't usable for the straight sound anymore.. buffered and splitted, sounds perfect.
more lecture on all-pass filters, needed to compensate for the phase shift in the tuba sound. the filtered sounds don't play together too nicely with the straight voice B without phase correction - too much cancellation on the pot rotation.. also, a lot better now.
in the process, i came across a nice Spice Circuit Simulation Program for mac as well: Qucs.
Silly name, but open source, and a great alternative to MacSpice which only does text-based analysis.. Qucs starts from the schemo yo. which is great if you're more into circuitry than programming.
i've a feeling i'm getting close to having all the options mapped and cut and dried and decided and all that.
when i reach the final stage, i'll do a schematic comparison.
should be interesting.
to me, that is.
more interesting than a flow-chart comparison - made one earlier to keep my head clear
and it seems there's not too much difference with the original, haha.. but i'm a sucker for flow charts.
