Title: FV1 shortest delay time?
Post by: Aentons on January 16, 2019, 09:49:42 PM
Just curious if the FV1 can do 10ms down to sub-millisecond repeats?

10ms is pretty much the max a human ear can distinguish (although with successive repeats I guess it can produce more of a continuous sound). IIRC, you can set the FV-1 down into 10 or 15mS range for delay.

It's to modulate, for a multimode type thing that can do chorus, flange, doubling, short and long delays. The less than 1ms setting gives a weird  filtery type sound.

Are there any hobbyist type delay chips that can do it?

Oh, I see. Yeah I can understand how you could use that as a noisemaker...cool.

If anything is capable of it it's the FV-1, I guess. I don;t have time to look right now but you could always open up SpinCAD and check the delay block. Or ask on the Holy City forum.

The SpinCAD Coarse Delay block maximum delay goes all the way down to 1ms. (Which can then be adjusted further with the delay input pin)

I'll try this later today and see if it's usable.

EDIT:   Yep, it works.  Gives that nice stationary flange type of sound.     The feedback control adjusts it from subtle comb filtering to robotic sewer pipe effects.

Awesome, thanks! Your description is right on
