You may have seen videos of SV Modular modules that included some funky looking black modules - well, those are Personal Modules, a collection of efficient polyphonic modules that get a lot of use.
Personal Modules Bias is a simple, 16-voice polyphonic automatic Biasing utility module. It accepts an input and attempts to automatically adjust for any DC biasing.
In
The input supports up to 16 polyphonic channels.
Out
The output jack provides output generated from the Bias module. This polyphonic output is based on the number of inputs connected to Signal, meaning that if a polyphonic cable with 16 channels is connected to In, then the output will present 16 channels.
In audio recording, a DC offset is an undesirable characteristic of a recording sound. It occurs in the capturing of sound, before it reaches the recorder, and is normally caused by defective or low-quality equipment. The offset causes the center of the recording waveform not to be at 0, but at a higher or lower value, for example, +0.1 or -0.1. This can cause two main problems. Either the loudest parts of the signal will be clipped prematurely, since the base of the waveform has been moved up, or inaudible low-frequency distortion will occur. Low-frequency distortion may not be audible in the initial recording, but if the waveform is resampled to a compressed or lossy digital format, such as an MP3, those corruptions may become audible
I just checked out CHRONO … my 2 cents: for the 2nd clock it would be nice to have start/stop/continue/reset buttons and CV-in/outs to resembl a stop-watch
and another 2 cents from me - to replicate “pomodoro timer” technique with this awesome timer we’d need for CV trigger output and timer settings (30-40 minutes) in right click menu.
BUT - my own personal modules name doesn’t stand for that kind of request. So it’s just ideas) and maybe too much for that nice designed and tiny module
EDIT: but I found the thing that maybe could be probably done easily and then look nicely - is there a way to sync seconds tick between clock and timer? this visual delay can be really annoying for eyes for long sessions. Not claim just notice)
it did, though to be completely honest, I had packaged it all up a few days ago to send to Andrew for release without writing manuals and then stopped myself and went back to write some. they haven’t changed any since, but if there’s more clarification that’s needed I’m happy to add some.
I will note that the module does a “best effort” to fix the dc bias - there are some waveforms that it does not do well with, but in my use has done fairly well after the overall mix has been done.
it’s not perfect, but it worked better than not having it (and better than trying to manually post process or do it in audacity).
