Delay | Episode 2: Bucket Brigade

Yeah, I'm subscribing to this.. this sounds like a tape echo.. brilliant!

[@AlanW]

I feel like it could be interesting to hear what a delay circuit sounds like with and without each of these supporting circuits. Well, maybe once. Or how the delay signal is effected by fewer capacitory stages but with longer and longer clock cycles to maintain the delay time. Thanks for this, very cool!

Little correction. BBD is analog circuit, so there is no quantization.

[@mooseyard]

That’s only half true! There is no amplitude quantization since the capacitor charge is, as you say, analog. But the BBD does sample the signal at a finite rate, making it digital in the *time* domain - I.e. quantization - so it has the same issues with aliasing that fully-digital sampling does.

@@FilipMilerX I think when I used the word quantization in this video I was talking about the discrete steps in time between each sample the BBD takes, but you are correct. As @mooseyard has pointed out, the term is only half correct in this context. If I do a video in the future about digital delay or AD/DA conversion in general I’ll be more thorough with my description of quantization.
