Re: Somethings a-brewing in the Sonic Crayon camp

I might do a refresh of the vibrato this year (later). No huge changes. Back to the smaller enclosure, minus the crackle which didn't work well to begin with. And maybe a few better LFO shapes. Mainly because I need one for myself. If it's simple enough to build, will make a batch.

This will probably happen before any mechanical sun / nautilus stuff. Probably.

Remove crackle -> Put in second waveform knob -> allow combining of waveforms

I'll send you my paypal for that idea.

I want to learn to make digital effects, I have the programming behind me, just need to get the rest. :facepalm:

I'd jump on that vibrato if you do, will it be vibrato/chorus or no mix knob? :poke:

Split the signal into 2 using a LPF and a HPF, then apply independent vibrato on each. :idea: :drool:

I was thinking something along the lines of having two speed knobs for doing some cool out-of-phase beat-frequency stuff with the vibrato LFO. Not exactly the same idea, but yeah.

Start with arduino and ready-made hardware. Doing the hardware stuff for high speed 32bit processors is a literal headache if you're just getting started. Stuff like ground fills for inductance/capacitance, just grounding rules become complex.

Def keeping the mix knob, the mkii has one.
And soft-stomp silent relay bypass. Like my delay. I'm forever done with 3PDTs.

Would definitely be cool to be able to tune the frequency and speed of two waveforms relatively. Can create some really cool stuff that way me thinks.

Sounds cool. Dont want to overcomplicate it though. I want to do a simple pedal I can actually build a batch of, for once. :lol:

Another thing I def want to do with the vibrato, is have the LFO shape knob be a smooth transition between shapes. Like moog oscillators. The old one just switches between them. That should be easy to do with my current programming skill level. The hard part will just be deciding which shapes are next to each-other for the most interesting blends.

Ugh, so many ideas for a cool LFO, but again, I dont want to overcomplicate it into a 10-knob vibrato. If I do that I'll just be back to not making batches again. 4-5 knobs in small enclosure, tops.

I'd still probably buy some Sonic Crayon just for the way it looks. I'm sometimes shallow like that. :D

Big fan of this idea.
FWIW the wave shape pot on my Effectrode phaser at full counterclockwise goes from triangle to, rising tri, falling tri, sine, square, 4 stepped, 6 stepped, 8 stepped at full clockwise. Seems pretty logical...it would def be interesting to ramp from triangle to stepped :idea:

for the soft-stomp

tap to tap-tempo
hold >1 second for bypass toggle

does that make sense?

Yea, that's pretty awesome actually. This would make tap tempo only up to 1 second by design though, no? I don't know how long you've had it, or way anyone would need over 1 second on their vibrato time, but yea.

Either way, I'm buying all of your shit until I'm in the grave whenever it gets made.
