Well yeah, but the series resistor sets the diode current in relation to the input voltage, assuming a low impedance source. Unless you subsequently buffer the output, the resistor is also setting the output impedance (when you're not clipping), and if you have series capacitance, the high pass...

What's your OS?

Lots of projects don't need the ability to change the clock. Generally speaking most people who do want to change the clock want to make it slower so they can get longer delays etc. This comes at the expense of sound quality, but in many cases a murkier sound is okay. See the Erica Synths...

You can save a single patch as ASM or save a Spin Project from 8 patches which creates individual .spn files as well as the prj file used by Spin's IDE (which does you no good on a Mac). Unless you just wanted to see how the disassembler works, there's no particular need to use one if all you...

Yes. Looks like it's actually C++ though (to be honest I'm not 100% sure). In any case, take a look here: https://github.com/expertsleepersltd/distingNT/tree/main/tools/three_pot

"Eclipse" is the IDE I used to develop SpinCAD Designer. It's not the JRE itself. The Java version of Eclipse is the one you use to work on Java code. Why this issue is happening on Mac (even to me) remains a mystery. Thanks for your info. DL

OK, I tried the latest Java installer for x64 and it worked. I'm at version 21 now. The simulation playback issue on Mac remains. If someone out there wants to help debug it, let me know. By that, I mean install the Eclipse Java package on Mac and pull down the code and do "whatever" else it...

@BrooksBlackhawk I tried it on my Intel Macbook Air and can reproduce your problem, sort of. I don't get any skipping but the playback does stop after a few seconds and doesn't start up again until I restart the program. The version of Java is very old. I ran SpinCAD in debug mode but saw...

Might be worth it to check Java versions. On Windows I have: java version "18.0.1.1" 2022-04-22 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 18.0.1.1+2-6) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 18.0.1.1+2-6, mixed mode, sharing)

@BrooksBlackhawk it's not immediately obvious what it might be. Generally speaking I make my simulator WAV files in Audacity and I'm mostly but not exclusively testing on Windows. If you want to attach one of your WAV files I can try it here. DL

@jcpst That's helpful. For some background, SpinCAD is Java based because this smart young feller named Andrew Kilpatrick released a Java simulator of the FV-1 as a library called "ElmGen". I took it and ran with it. Well, let's say I stumbled with it. I learned Java and Swing and made many...

Yeah, me too. Well, it is open source. Here's a link to a relevant discussion. I may look at it some day. https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27267574/How-do-I-get-Java-Swing-dialog-boxes-to-all-open-on-the-Primary-screen-in-a-dual-monitor-layout.html Seriously though, I am not a...

Because a destination pin can only take one connection, there is no ambiguity as to what you want to delete. DL

Right click on the destination pin. https://holy-city-audio.gitbook.io/spincad-designer/tutorials/creating-a-patch Sorry the documentation is still incomplete, and somehow it seems a lot of screenshots are missing. When I used Gitbook for work some years back I also had trouble with...

I have no idea how he does a Shepard flanger, but were I to attempt such a thing I'd start with: 2 servo flangers with synchronized LFOs. This might be a bit tough because the LFO probably wants to be a ramp to go linearly from 0 to 1 (or vice versa) and then snap back to the other end. And...
