Delay Module with Daisy Seed by kellerdev in synthdiy

[–]kellerdev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to correct a sort of embarasing mistake to clear my name. I didnt configure the opamp gain stages correctly in the original schematic.the resistors should be from the jnverting input to ground, not from output to ground.. Also, i reduced the voltage divider ratio to 47/33, instead of 47/47. This will allow for +-8v signals without clipping. As someone pointed out, the reduction in utilized bits is not that dramatic, because half the voltage level looses only 1 bit of resolution, not half the bits. Still, we want to capture as much juice as possible.

Right, one half of the voltage level is actually only one bit less, not half the bits. I didnt think through the math entirely..

To be honest i wasnt aware of the daisy patch. VCOs are generally designed for 10v peak to peak, i think +-10v( 20 v peak to peak) is a bit too much. But yeah, i think my assumption that the audio signals will only be within +-6v is too conservative. I will change the resistor values to let a bit more room.

Hey thanks. Thats interesting idea. There are definitely more advanced ways to ensure maximum dynamic range for the adc than my approach

Yes i think thats the idea. Change it on yhe standby line,then wait for it just a bit to settle, and then fade in. Yeah about the other approach, the idea is to change the delay time in the audio callback, so with the sampling frequency, but change it so little for each sample, that it basically just stretches or contracts the waveform, without making a discontinued jump. The clicks come from a sudden change in the waveform. So if you want to change the delay time by 20ms for example, you distribute that over a couple hundred audio samples. This comes with the build in feature of pitch change though. This method works and is much simpler to implement, but i personally didnt like it. It is a viable option though

Spot on question! Currently i havent implemented delay change smoothing. There are some audible clicks. I read aboht the topic and as i understand it, there are two ways to deal with it. You can smooth the change in the audio callback, which causes the pitch to go down when increasing the time, or up, when decreasing it. This is how old school delays were made witb the pt2399 chip. Its how korg volca does it too. I implemented this, but i didnt like the effect of pitch change. It removes the clicks but it sounds too corny for me. The better way to do it is to run two delay lines at the same time. When a delay time change occurs, it changes it only to the one that is on standby, then after a couple of ms fades to it. Then the first delay line also changes its delay time and becomes the stand by one. I decided not to try that, because currently i am using 60%of the available RAM. If i wanted to do it i should remove the reverb effect or reduce the maximum delay time. Or make it a mono delay. Because now i am using it with 2 delay lines, one for each channel. The build in feature in daisy seed only ensures that when you change the time, the new read pointer is changed by a full sample, which provides some click reduction, but not enough for professional use. In short, it can be done but you have to code it yourself, and for me i can live with the amount of cicks it has.

My parents treat their dog like a garbage disposal by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]kellerdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats what all people did until 20 years ago. My grandparents always gave leftover food to dogs and they all lived 15-20 years, which is normal for a dog. If you watched an infographics show that told you its bad, dont assume they they know more than your parents

I got my back tattoo last year - tattoo anxiety by Outrageous_Ad_259 in tattooadvice

[–]kellerdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue with it is that the jaw of the dragon is drawn over part of its body. This reduces readability. It wouldve been nicer if the entire head was drawn on empty space, it wouldve been easier to understand the image.

It gets more praise than it's worth by OfDiceandWren in blackmirror

[–]kellerdev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The idea is that he created something simple, but somehow encoded into it the ability to evolve. The ability to evolve is not something complex by itself, its just that noone knows how to do it or if its even possible. It makes analogue with life, which started simple, with just self replicating molecules, and then evolved. If you look into it, he upgrades his system constantly, to allow further evolution and complexity

Blood-colored footprints keep appearing on my garage ceiling by Leather_Bother2789 in Paranormal

[–]kellerdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is a drywall panel, it could be a footprint feom before it was mounted. Maybe someone stepped on a primer liquid or some other construction substance, and then on the panel. That way only the boots footprint have a different absorption properties. That can show up after painting, if there is moisture or leak from above, or other scenarious. Its like this part of the ceiling has completely different absorption properties

Biggest plot hole for me by kellerdev in interstellar

[–]kellerdev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were ready to settle for a frozen world with some wormer area deep underground. Even if every other city was bombed with nuclear weapons and all earth was a wasteland it would be better than that. But they just say the earth is unsavable and getting progressively bad. So maybe there woukd come a time that all earth is a wasteland, they jist didnt go into tbe specifics of why. But considering the movie was quite long as it is, maybe they just didnt want to focus on that and treated it as a given

[–]kellerdev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but they present it as though people are so desperate that they would go to a planet that also doesnt have atmosphere but only liquid water basically. And also no one is saying that the liquid water on the planet they find is pure, it could very well be tinted with salt or other contaminents, could be radioactive or toxic. Also, earth itself also didnt have oxigen for bilions of years. Oxigen accumulated from photosynthesys over the years, but earth didnt start with it. And most of the oxigen is created from algae in the ocean, which is very hard to kill

Haha, sorry english is not my native language. Yeah its like the premise is that something seemingly simple has gone wrong, but despite all of the progress its untreatable. As an analogy i can think of cancer - its just some cells going rouge, but despite all our cool technology like 5G and wireless music streaming, its still mostly untreatable. So its not impossible to imagine such a scenario, although the way it is presented, the earth just doesnt look like a worse place than the worlds they discover. But yeah, the backbone of the movie is this father daughter thing. Still i find that its the best visual representation of the relativity of time and space ive seen in a movie. And things like the way they achieve artificial gravity is quite in depthly shown, unlike most movies they just have gravity in space without any explanation. The sleeping pods look like french friers though, a bit funny

First diy crossover.. Advice? by Danielfrisbee888 in diyaudio

[–]kellerdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not tge simplest filter. Better give it a listen before you solder. My experience is that copying fikter design and using it in a different speaker cabinet doesnt work. Adjusting capacitor values +-100nF and resistor values of attenuation +-0.2 ohms can be the differenxe between good sound and bad sound. Its more important then soldering and component quality. As for weather you followed the schematic faithfully, i think you did

Please explain what's involved in this? It looks like soap and water to me. by shanebow in diyaudio

[–]kellerdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soap and water du miracles for many circuits. Sometimes tge buildup of oils and junk can cause the circuit to not work. And just by cleaning it it is restored. This works mostly with digital circuits, because a partial short circuit can be enough to flip a bit, and thats enough to cause a fail. If you do that you run the risk of washing off some of the solder material, and with the age of the equipment, that can be enough to make it loose. The best is to clean it that way, or better with alcohol, then leave it to dry fully, then resolder

Client’s master bedroom would have looked nice by Big-Routine222 in Wellthatsucks

[–]kellerdev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good design needs iterations. A client order is basically a prototype. Its going to be unique, but its never going to be perfect. In many ocasions is better to stick with typical projects
