Hello, Electrician > Exactly, it is. Thank you! :cool: What a horror... There are a ton of diodes and resistors... You need to connect them like in the turboFM circuit connected (first independent resistors from the outputs to ground, then through conductors and large resistors - addition at the point of constant potential of the op-amp in inverting connection), then each output will work at the same load, and there will be no interference (the stereo effect will be 100% for extreme channels). However, ay and ym cannot be forced to SOUND the same. Well, for example because they have a different number of steps in the envelope and different levels of DACs, therefore, the spectral composition (timbre) of the sound of the envelopes will be fundamentally different.

Hello, All Is it possible to make a subject somehow? Well, or not 100% like AY, but at least more smoothly and softly... I remember I came across a text about this somewhere, but then there was no real YM, and now there is, but I don’t remember what was in that article... :(

Hello, lvd This is all good, if not for that article. They didn't write it from a lantern... :rolleyes:

Hello rajdee That's right, it is. Thank you! :cool:

Hello, lvd In principle, the stereo effect is not for me, I don’t like YM’s too “ragged” sound. After that article, I thought that the “smoothness” of the AY sound is less difference between the upper volume levels than YM, i.e. theoretically this is can be treated with a compressor... Although I’ll also try it with diodes someday.

Hello, Dead Dea> No, it's better in TripleRectifier.... More power....:) The old (still German, and not the hollow-Chinese) Behringer had one like this piece - Tube Magician. Just heating anything on 8 channels. Here she is was a real salvation from the cold numbers!

Hello, Electrician > Interesting thing. I can still understand the lamps, but 8 pointer VU meters > this is already schizophrenia... Well, a tribute to vintage fashion. And the device cost pennies. About $250 somewhere.

Hello, Electrician > Was there a lamp there or something like Sansamp? No, it’s a crap lamp, a 2U rack-mount device. Linear input signal, and the output is linear, but already warmed up. And 8 saturation knobs on the muzzle. Wow, I found: http://www.behringer.com/T1950/index.cfm?lang=RUS

Hello, lavstudio Was there a lamp there or something like a Sansamp?

From Nikolay Istomin To All 16 January 2006

Hello, Electrician Interesting thing. I can still understand the lamps, but 8 pointer VU meters is already schizophrenia...
