Title: Tremulus Lune - Blinking LED's resistor
Post by: JackSkellington on February 29, 2020, 02:54:14 PM
I built a Tremulus Lune some years ago using a tagboard veroboard layout.
I want to build another one, but I have a doubt. I used in my first one the LFO red LED 5mm as blinking LED. It's always on. I included it because I followed the layout and I liked the idea. And I used a red LED because I saw other people used that color.
I can't understand if the blinking LED is necessary to the circuit. Can I remove it? This was just a theorical hypothesis, because I would like to know if that LED doesn't count with the main effect circuit maybe I can change the color or adjust even the brightness if I keep it. I see a 1k resistor (R13) to the ground from the negative side of the LED. Maybe I can change that like we do with a staus LED?

This is the schematic.

I'm pretty sure you can play with R12 and R13 and the rate LED...I seem to remember I did that on my build.   I would think you can remove them too if you like.

So, R12 and R13 will not change the effect. If that's correct I'll try it! :)

It won't audibly change the effect, just the blindly LED. Just socket the resistor and see if you find something you like.
