Blocking DC in this case. 8uf would be fine. The tolerance of these things is +/-20% anyway. The worst you could do would be to lose a little bass, but I doubt you'd notice it - your speakers probably aren't that good. (Nobody's speakers are that good). Ken >i'm building the drum

Re: pitch shifters for sound synthesis?

Well, I guess if you entered a sine, and shifted it up an octave, you'd have a second harmonic... You could make a third harmonic, fourth, etc... Added together in appropriate amounts you could re-create a sawtooth (32 or 64 harmonics needed really). The phase behavior would prob

Hi there, Agree with the statement that the best you'd get is a saw tooth. With guitar, I'd say to go the traditional way: first turn its signal into something with high harmonic content (asymmetrical distortion, waveshape to taste) and then perform subtractive synthesis. I guess

I don't think a pitch shifter (as distinct from frequency shifter) will really help. It shifts the present frequencies by corresponding ratios. At best I can see, even with feedback, that all you would generate would be a sawtooth wave. Anyone else care to take a stab? Ken >hi. i

Re: matching 1% resistors

To make it even simpler, all 100K resistors attached to the negative summing node of each op amp need to be matched to each other. All ten 100K resistors don't need to be matched to each other. The 10K resistors should all be matched, since they create a long voltage divider chai

Re: matching 1% resistors

2003-04-23 by John Loffink

Yes, almost, but make sure your meter has better than 1% accuracy. Many don't. You don't have to match 100K ohms. You just have to match the resistors to each other, since the gain is determined by their ratios to each other. So if they're all 99.83 K, that's alright. John Loffin
