It’s a simple fact: every recording sounds better with the right sound effects. Here we prove that it’s possible to generate a variety of effects digitally, including hall, chorus and flanger effects, without having to work yourself to the bone with DSP programming. The circuit is built around a highly integrated effects chip and features an intelligent user interface with an LCD. The result is a treat for the eye and the ear.
Features:
- Multi-effect generator with 15 effect algorithms
- Based on the FV-1 effect processor IC
- Frequency response 20 Hz to 15 kHz
- Maximum delay time 700 ms
- 64 memory locations for preset configuration profiles
- Separate user interface
- MIDI In port
- Effect selection and parameter control via MIDI port
- Integrated ramp generator for producing attack/decay effects
- Easy assembly using standard components (except the FV-1 IC)
- Free assembler program for generating user-programmed effect algorithms
Correction
Issued: March 22, 2011.
a number of corrections apply to this item. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
1. Electrolytic capacitors C23, C25, C30 and C32 are shown with the wrong polarity in the circuit diagram printed in the September 2010 edition. Customers in possession of main board # 090835-1 or kit # 090835-71 (containing the main board), should check if the board supplied is version V2.1 (printed on board). For board versions lower than 2.0 capacitors C23, C30, C25 and C32 are shown the wrong way around on the component overlay, and should be reversed.
2. In the component list, the values of capacitors C28, C33 and C18 are incorrectly indicated. The correct values are as in the circuit diagram, i.e. C28,C33 = 2.2nF; C18 = 15pF.
The kit of parts contains the correct capacitors.
