Runciter Overdrive Question

[AlexA]

Hi,

First, the obligatory "you're DA man!" to Urs

Something about your design aesthetic and priorities just 'clicks' with me.

Now saying that... I've been playing around with Runciter. The overdrive knob is labelled +/- 48 but I am finding that the signal is dry at -48 and not at 0. So I'm a little confused.

I'd appreciate some clarity on this.

Much obliged,

Alex

Thank you!

Runciter has two forms of drive, one is the quite obvious fuzz section, which is placed inetween two sections of state variable filters. The other drive is a softclipping within the two state variable filter circuits. The drive knob is basically an input volume knob with an complementary auto makeup.

The drive within the filter circuity mostly affects the sound of the resonance. State variable filters can have pretty loud resonance tones. Upping the input level makes the the drivbe more obvious on the dry signal. Damping the input leaves more headroom for the resonance to develop, hence you have louder and also cleaner resonance tones. At 0dB drive the resonance is already softclipped quite audibly.

I can elaborate on that more when back from Messe

Thanks Urs, that makes sense

All the best.

I'm guessing you are back from Messe by now.

Yes, please elaborate on the inner workings of the drive section.
