Here I show it with the MN3011 multi tap delay block. Assume for starters that you can put a full amplitude signal into the block in the loop without distortion. This is not always accurate. Also assume that the gain from input to output in the feedback path is 1.0. Most or all of the...

Here's the code in question. Hasn't changed in ten years. https://github.com/HolyCityAudio/SpinCAD-Designer/blob/master/src/org/andrewkilpatrick/elmGen/simulator/AudioFileReader.java...

It's hard to say. I have no idea. It's always worked OK on Windoze. Java's not the most modern programming environment, for all I know Apple has some security lock down on playing WAV files. What if you set the simulator mode to File output? That seems to work here.

Well, that's a shame to hear. Perhaps you could run it in debug mode as shown above and see if anything suspect shows up. Edit - OK I just double checked on my Macbook Air running Monterey 12.7.1. The simulation indeed stops after a few seconds and can't be convinced to continue without...

Try running it in debug mode and you will see the generated ASM every time you make a connection or press "Start Simulation". Control panel settings changes don't recalculate the model. A little known secret is that even if you put more things in and push resources into the red, it will...

The main area where you are going to see strange differences between SpinCAD generated code and hand written examples is where the delay RAM is used. The modules had to be written so that the RAM segments could be relocated in a single pass. Perhaps it could have been done another way, but...

Well I do recall interacting with him back in the day but by the looks of it he has done a number of things that indicate he is also hand-writing Spin ASM. So, most honest answer is "I'm not sure".

You can of course edit the Spin ASM if you like. I'll spend a little time this weekend seeing if I can concoct something. I did not focus much on "infinite hold" possibilities when coming up with SpinCAD. Here are a few general concepts to deal with when "cranking the feedback". - too much...

Well, to be fair, it's a feature of the FV-1. It's the glue instruction that makes everything fit together just right. ;)

I do pop in here from time to time, feel free to ask questions about specific things, I'll try to help while I still remember. I don't actually use it myself too much any more but am beyond pleased at how many people have done really nice things with it. And of course there are things you...

@bSide I have not tested SpinCAD Designer on an M1 Mac (don't have one). You might be able to learn something by running it in debug mode. See: https://github.com/HolyCityAudio/SpinCAD-Designer/blob/master/docs/running-spincad-designer-in-debug.mode.pdf Regarding distortion, set up a bypass...

FV-1 tap tempo (at least the ones I'm familiar with) will count sample periods between button presses then save this value. Then you use that number as the read pointer into delay memory, assuming that your delay buffer starts at address 0, and you have allocated enough memory (32768 is the...

Perhaps the password it is asking for is your Mac's administrator password.

I don't understand either of the first two questions. The "Time Base" shown on the UI only affects the "Scope" feature. I have pretty much finished transferring all the SpinCAD help content from my Patreon site (which was a stupid idea for this sort of thing) over to Gitbook (which is a great...

It's always been free, so I'm not quite sure how to take that. :unsure:

I think "Coarse Delay" was one of the first blocks I ever implemented directly in Java. It predates the "SpinCAD Builder" language. It has a self contained feedback loop as compared to the external one in the Three-Tap (or Triple-Tap) delay block, which is what I recommend you use instead...

As SpinCAD Designer doesn't implement pot skip routines in any blocks yet, I devised a way to fade the heads in gradually. This can be applied to things besides delays. I'm probably going to add a block that DOES do the pot skip on something like a 4 or 5 head delay concept in order to bring...

A regular 1-pole filter rolls off at -6 dB/octave, which is rather gentle. Not exactly "vertical". The idea behind making it "shelving" is to set the point at which it stops going down, and rather flattens off again. If anything, it makes the filter "shallower" and more subtle than one which...

I'll check it out. Thanks for the report. DL

Well, since you asked nicely. :D https://www.patreon.com/holycityaudio
