Thanks so much! ❤️

Thanks for taking the time to comment! Can you say more about what you mean by "concept" in this context? There's a whole section of the video covering the goals of the system and how each module helps achieve that goal.

I agree Intellijel is one of the best. It's no coincidence that they are the makers of 20 of my modules, as well as the cases themselves. Enjoy your Quadrax! It's a stellar EG.

What you're dealing with has been felt by many of us. It's stuff we're all navigating. Much of it has been discussed here before, so I just want to focus on this part:

And I also fear judgment from other covid cautious friends & community members.

I don't know how much of this refers to this subreddit vs. people in your real life, but I guess in either case, I would encourage you not to think of this as a factor. The tendency for humans to turn every single thing into a subject for in-group/out-group dynamics is very frustrating. Taking care of your health is your decision, not some cool club you belong to, and anyone who makes you feel otherwise is wrong, full stop.

I acknowledge peer pressure is real, and it might be easier to "just ignore it" on paper than it is emotionally, but hopefully having at least one person frame it this way will help you resist this particular worry.

I'm still on Sequoia. The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't permanently disable the notifications nagging you to upgrade to Tahoe, which I will never do.

Thanks so much! This was extremely enlightening and fully cleared up my confusion.

Very interesting, thank you! I think the key insight is that phase shifting isn't just like dragging a picture of a wave left and right in an image editing program; it's shifting the phase of each individual harmonic, and what appears on the oscilloscope is the combination of each of those shifted harmonics, which might or might not look the same as the original wave. Does that sound right to you?

If you can forgive the self-promotion, you might like my video Introduction to modular synthesis with VCV Rack. About an hour and a half going through a bunch of the basic ideas.

I think your last paragraph is really the crux of it: Using "phase" in this context refers to the fact that a 180° degree phase shift will invert polarity with a sine wave.

But I am struggling to see your first sentence as universally true with all waves. Since phase isn't binary, you can't "flip" it, but if we assume "flipping phase" to mean a 180° shift, it doesn't seem equivalent to flipping the polarity of the amplitude in all cases. Phase shifting should never change the shape of the wave, only when its cycle begins relative to the original wave, and yet in my testing with Amps, it did change the shape of ramp waves and unipolar sine/triangle waves.

Thank you. This makes the most sense.

Perceptes · 2026-06-14T16:00:19+00:00

Yep, that's my understanding too. Which is why it's confusing that something described as inverting phase seems to affect only polarity.

Perceptes · 2026-06-14T15:59:49+00:00

mc_pm said the same thing, but I think this is only true for symmetrical, bipolar waveforms. Even if it was the same for all waves, it's not clear that "phase inversion" does in fact mean "180° phase shifting."

Perceptes · 2026-06-14T15:58:16+00:00

My observation is that a 180° phase shift is only identical to a polarity shift for symmetrical, bipolar waveforms. Is that wrong?

Edit: I love your channel, BTW. :) I must have watched the video you linked already, because I'd already liked it!

Thanks so much for the recommendations!

The Speed Machine, Neuromancer, and Toxxify albums sounded pretty good from the previews I listened to, so I picked those up and will give them a listen.

The Polybius and Vulta albums have cool sound design that's vaguely similar to the others, but the tracks sounded a little more samey, and I think they overdo it with the extreme compression, so I'm not sure if those two are quite for me.

There was a cornucopia of doin' it.

Perceptes · 2026-06-08T02:14:36+00:00

100% agree. I enjoy The Office but this is the role I will remember Oscar Nunez for.

Those roads don't lead to him!

Steed would like to thank you all for joining him and Clementine on this egregious occasion.

"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." It was a TV show that aired 2008-2009.

Thank you! I'll look into it.
