    Dipping my toe in - FV-1 crossover/signal correction; which offering is the best place to start?

    If you want to look at an existing FV-1 crossover/EQ program, search for "Active Crossover" on this page. https://www.spinsemi.com/programs.php

    FV-1 pitch

    1 second? (OP sent me a DM claiming the delay was 1 second). Typically you can expect to get half of the pitch shift buffer length latency IIRC, so 1 second does not sound right. Over at the Spin forum some guy figured out a way to reduce it, I'd suggest looking or asking over there...

    FxCore is great

    FXCore has been in production for several years and as far as I know it has no compatibility at all with Spin FV-1 source code. I would have liked that as well, but they had other things in mind.

    SpinCAD Designer release 0.98-1037 - fixed Drum Delay block

    I didn't put too much effort into the pitch shifter blocks of SpinCAD for reasons previously stated. You might wind up having to hand edit coefficients in Spin ASM or use something like a Pot skip structure to get discrete settings from a Pot input.

    Alternative PCB for Pythagoras circuit at PCBWay.com

    It's got 5 pins, and a push switch so 2 of those are for the switch. This leaves 3, which I assume are 2 quadrature outs and the common. You'd have to add logic or something like a PIC to that to get a parallel digital output. I assume the 30 position are the detents. I could be wrong of...

    Whammy pitch Octaver fv-1 (SpinCad)

    The last time I checked, which was years ago, I came to the conclusion that perhaps pitch shift down simulation in SpinCAD is not accurate. I spent quite a bit of time getting the chorus simulation to work properly but, as I didn't write any of that code originally, it was guess work. I sold...

    SpinCAD Designer release 0.98-1037 - fixed Drum Delay block

    I think I suggested that you try the Pitch Up Down block in a response to one of your other messages. If I remember correctly it puts out one octave up and one octave down at the same time. I'm sorry I don't take requests to build patches but it should be fairly easy to put together. DL

    SpinCAD Designer release 0.98-1037 - fixed Drum Delay block

    These .spincad files are source code for many of the blocks in the SpinCAD program. I've written an elaborate document about how to add your own blocks to the program but that is for really advanced users. At this point I don't know what you are asking for. The SpinCAD Designer Program...

    SpinCAD Designer release 0.98-1037 - fixed Drum Delay block

    Neither, those are "SpinCAD Builder" files which is how new blocks get added to the program. You are looking for .spcd files which are binary and can be loaded into SpinCAD Designer. Thx, DL

    Starting to use ChatGPT to write optimizer for SpinCAD

    Nope, I checked in some code on a branch, but in my experience, chatGPT either gets it or starts going in circles, and I wasn't getting anywhere. Then my annual reserve of energy to deal with SpinCAD (which gets lower every year; I'm fully a geezer now) ran out!

    Alternate Online FV-1 Dis-Assembler

    I'd suggest using the Pitch Up Down block. I don't remember exactly what it does, but maybe it will do what you want. SpinCAD is a tool, and as such may require some learning curve (along with understanding at least something about the FV-1 architecture) to get the most out of it. In case...

    SpinCAD Designer release 0.98-1037 - fixed Drum Delay block

    SpinCAD won't open .spn files. I don't know that one can do intelligent harmonization on the FV-1, only fixed intervals that IMO don't sound all that great due to the linear interpolation. You might look at the Github archive under the name mstratman...

    Transfer function of Diodes

    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...
