Re: Feedback in ASR?

2005-10-23 by xamboldt

Yeah, it's not designed for processing audio, but it does handle bipolar
signals, right? I imagine it would sound very nasty processing audio,
dividing it into narrow slices (grains) - although to have an output
resembling audio it would have to be clocked very quickly, so it might just
end up sounding like a square wave tremolo or even a ring modulator. I'm not
even sure what feedback would do in that situation.

I guess the logical conclusion of where my brain was headed on this, if it's
used to control CVs, would be a Wiard Noise Ring.

Nevertheless, I'm very interested to see what your experimentation
produces...
