The
VC Flanger 38a is another BBD based design from
F/X master Michael Irwin.
Driving the BBD into the MHz range, the shortest available delay is 180 micro
seconds (.000180 seconds)
On board LFO with voltage control of rate and depth for more sonic flexibility
using fewer modules. The VC Flanger clock frequency can track a keyboard at
1V/oct response over a 4-5 octave range. This feature permits experimentation
with "physical modeling' synthesis.
Information on modular synths and physical modeling is discussed in a Sound on Sound article based on the experiments of Ron Berry .
For more in depth information, see the paper written by Ron Berry on the subject of physical modeling. http://www.ronberry.freeuk.com/RBacmodelling.pdf
