Re: OPTO compressor design

Found this the other day. Have you ever test-built this?

How does the Auto Attack interact with the variable attack setting?

Re: Transformerless Feedforward Vari-Mu

I like that idea. Did something like that on analag's DAOC with LED in antiparallel to optocell . But ended up also adding meter slowed down with a cap to show an approximation of average.

What meter is good on this? 200mA? 1mA?

Re: Transformerless Feedforward Vari-Mu

The Recom R12-150B is mighty in price. Is there a cheaper alternative you can recommend?

Or a power toroidal backwards also could work, no?

Re: Transformerless Feedforward Vari-Mu

I read the description of the U73b, document on groupdiy.

In that text they talk about 'solid release times' of 0.3 - 0.6 - 1.2 seconds. These are easy to derive by putting resistors or caps on a rotary.

But they also talk about 2.5 - 6 -1.2s as being ' influenced by their respective program ...

Re: Transformerless Feedforward Vari-Mu

For stereo would need two main boards. Can they be powered from one PSU board?

Re: Transformerless Feedforward Vari-Mu

R18 and R19 are attack and release, right?

Worth making them variable, despite feedward then possibly tending to sound weird at 'wrong' setting?

Re: Transformerless Feedforward Vari-Mu

Would 6BA6 tubes work ? Read that they are not fully equivalent to 6K4P, something to do with internal resistance.

Re: Testing

Testing // matching / calibrating tube gain

This should help find tubes for better matching.
.
1st step is to trim SC CV so that it rests at (i.e. slightly above) required SC out junction, effectively calibrating the sidechain CVs. Then:


"If you need some (minor) unity gain calibration -- and ...
