Here's one more phased EDO jingle.

Left channel:
14 EDO, 140 bpm, triangle wave, various regular interval shifts ascending and descending

Right channel:
10 EDO, 100 bpm, triangle wave, various regular interval shifts ascending and descending

Same phaseing idea as last week, going in and out of synch in time and in pitch at the same time. Noticed some rounding errors with these scales, the octaves don't perfectly match up on the monomachine's 128 values for the pitch adjustment.

Thanks for checking in, take care!

hehehe Neat

This is a cool experiment. The phasing has an interesting effect. I spent a lot of this week processing oscillators through an old stereo receiver with a "Simulated Stereo" feature to figure out what it was doing. I feel like you'd appreciate the stereo effect. It does some interesting things with phase to create the stereo.

Cheers, those old stereo FX are interesting, yeah! Is the stereo-izer you mention delay based, do you think?

100% it is. I did a ton of more "scientific" experiements to check out what was doing what with that machine by running different signals through it.

For the stereo-izer, one of the channel is delayed into an analog buffer for a tiny amount of time. It's small enough where you wouldn't register it as an echo or flange, more of variant of sound traveling the distance between ears. The delayed side had changed the wave forms a bit too w/ some slewing and inversions to waves. Not quite sure if it's a bucket brigade behavior or a cheap kareoke digital delay like a PT 2399 chip or something but the delayed signal never comes back exactly the same. It's poor recreation is unnoticeable /w sine waves but more complex things make it more obvious. I probably should have looked at the spectrum and amplitude variation between right and left to get a clearer picture. I mostly focused on the oscilloscope. I only did the spectrum analysis for the tone and eq sections.
