Question

[BobF]

Hello gang,

When designing a Synth how does one eliminate intermodulation distortion, beating, and other mixing distortions. I have noticed as others have on a few of my Synth releases that if two or more notes are played there is a horrible distoration. On new designs I would really like to rid this.

Thanks, BobF.....

Intermodulation is a result of nonlinear response. Clipping is a frequent source of such evil. Do you have a specific example?

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the reply. I got messages it was in all my Synth releases. The "Wave Slider", "Non-linear Mod, and "Logic Gated" Synth's. I will definitely look into clipping. I never saw it on the scope though, but I will scope them in other area's till I find it.

Thanks again!

Till next time, BobF.....
