Each of the three main channels has an exponential response

This ±5v bipolar “wave” can be monitored on the 2 dedicated leds and is also available at it’s own Output

The saturation/compression/limiting aspect is inspired in the vein of post processing a signal from a vintage console into an analog tape machine

Tiptop Audio Buchla 296t Programmable Spectral Processor resonator yet if you look belowThe Tiptop Audio Buchla 296t module is designed to replicate the complexity of Don Buchla's Programmable Spectral Processor Model 296. The 296 was first introduced in 1978 and very few were ever made. Making a module of such complexity at a time when electronic schematics were drawn with pencils, with 48 filters that were most likely hand calculated is just incredible. The 70s were a great era of exploration and proof of audio electronics scientific
