Thanks for this great video and module. I will be ordering one. Click free switching between audio sources (without vactrols or crossfading) is something I have been looking out for for some time. Ingenious design and I'm surprised nobody has come up with it before (to my knowledge). Chapeau!
Thanks! When I came up with this I couldn't understand why I couldn't find anyone else doing it. Using it for audiorate wave-splicing can be very interesting. I will post a few application specific videos soon.
Ha ha! Thanks! I know what you mean. I got a second Rings yesterday and spent the whole evening wavesplicing combinations of Rings patches. I was supposed to do something else 🙂
This is brilliant! Very interesting to see how you can create completely new waveforms by comparing and switching the signals like that. And I love the analog approach of the presentation. Whiteboard on a keyboard!
Oh, that can be a long discussion. It depends on the application and availability. For switches on my Switch module I use DG419 but on my Wavefolder for switching in the different types of distortion I did a discrete design with JFETs. It all comes down to what you want the function to be and what the surrounding circuits need. So I don't really have a good general answer.
@@danwahlbeck2621 I've been meaning to suggest that instead of a D latch, you could also have a newer version with a S&H input. Not sure if your time delay/inversion would also work with that, but it could be interesting if what is currently the D input would output not just a T or F but the actual voltage level of the incoming signal. A small addition that would make it applicable to even more patches.
@@konstantine8054 You can't have just an analog S&H for this function. The D latch is needed. It needs to be a logic level function for this to work. You can use the Zero2 to control a S&H module if you want that function. I am not sure it would add that much extra value to have that function built in to the module too. I can't of the top of my head see any really interesting use cases unfortunately.
It was a great explanation. Thanks for all the great diagrams!
Excellent explanations, thank you! Looking forward to getting the Zero2... 🙂
Nice explanation of hysteresis. Great combination of logic functions to put into a small module!
Though I don't have the said module, t'was quite interesting to learn a bit of interesting knowledge. Thank you Dan. : )

24 hours later, can't leave this combo alone, done little else. Damn you, Dan!

@@danwahlbeck2621 that's the tagline for the Zero 2, "I was supposed to do something else"

Wonderful explanation. I would love to hear your thoughts on component selection for audio switches and comparators.

so, basically, it's a sample and hold where the trigger is a comparator?
You can sort of see it that way. But D-latch can only sampel and hold logical high or low signals.
