It could be argued that these subjects could also have been options. 😉

A joke Venn diagram with two overlapping circles. In the left, teal circle is a beaver playing a "Flying V" electric guitar. In the right, yellowish circle is a duck playing a synthesizer keyboard. In the green intersection area is a platypus playing a 1980s-style "keytar".

This post is probably only for the intersection of the #Venn diagram with circles labelled "#guitar player" and "#electronics hobbyist". I'm not on fora like #diystompboxes and such, so here it will have to be.

Like many others, I've built delay / echo #pedals / circuits using the ubiquitous #PT2399 digital delay IC. They're dirt cheap and simple to use. But the lowest delay period you can use them for is too long for some things, like #flanger / #phaser effects, or even some types of #chorus effects.

But I haven't seen much discussion of alternatives. I've been playing around with one I've built using the #M65831 digital #delay chip. It's not quite as cheap as the PT2399, but you don't have to look very hard to be able to get them for a couple of bucks (Canadian). But it seems to be so much better in this application.

First, it's designed and documented so that you can use a crystal to set its clock OR drive it directly with a CMOS-type square wave. No fiddling with drain currents and on-reset latchup problems.

Secondly, it sounds (to my ear) far better than the PT2399. The #datasheets I have for the PT2399 don't state a sampling rate; the M65831 uses 500 ksamples/s for lower delay times.

Thirdly, the range of delay available is larger. The shortest documented for PT2399 is ~31ms. For the M65831, it's 12.3ms using the default clock of 2 MHz. But the one sample I've tried is happy to run at 6 #MHz, for a delay of ~4ms. That's short enough for #flanging!

Tired of the big banks' paperwork, fees and missing features? I was, so I did some research on better business banking for Canadians.

This will be slightly #geeky, and probably only of interest to #electronics hobbyists and #guitar players. I happen to sit in the intersection of that particular #Venn diagram.

When I was a teenager, having only been playing guitar for a few years, I owned a guitar #effects pedal that went on to become legendary - the Boss HM-2 "Heavy Metal" #pedal. Its sound is still ubiquitous in metal.

I don't have it any more. I think I traded it for an analog chorus, which was a seriously expensive pedal back then. Although I have other #distortion effects, I've missed it a lot over the years.

Well, lots of hobbyists build their own effects. And the circuit schematics for many effects, particularly the classics, are available online. So like many others, I decided to build my own HM-2.

This image is the schematic for the #HM2. It's not the most complicated pedal, but it's a league above something like an Ibanez Tube Screamer. As far as active devices go, it's got 6 #opamps and 10 #transistors of various types, along with a bunch of diodes for multiple types and stages of clipping, and the usual jumble of capacitors and resistors. Oh, and four potentiometers.

A circuit schematic diagram for the Boss HM-2 "Heavy Metal" guitar effects pedal. It is fairly complicated as far as distortion pedals go, containing 6 operational amplifiers (opamps), 10 transistors of various types, and 4 potentiometers.

I don't know what goes into "good" alt text for a schematic. Shown here, the input signal enters at top-left and exits at the lower right side of the diagram, as is customary. In addition to the actual signal-processing path, it also includes a power supply section supporting 9V battery or AC adapter and which generates a 4.5V bias voltage in addition to buffering the power supply. There is also the traditional Boss "soft switching" which routes the signal either through the effect, or via a bypass to the output.

cartoon titled Summer at the Venns' house, it has two ice cream cones that overlap in a way that looks like a venn diagram.

This Venn diagram-inspired AI image generator is strangely satisfying via Creative Bloq [Shared]

There are already more AI image generators than the world could possibly ever need, even if AI art does become the norm. But that's not stopping people from experimenting with new ways to present them.

Many AI image generators let you request a particular artistic style or combine several to influence the look of the image you want to generate. Super Random Studio has come up with a clever UI design to allow styles to be quickly changed and compared along with environments.

The image features a small bird perched on a bird feeder. The bird has a bright yellow head and chest, with a black cap on its head and a grayish-white belly. Its beak is short and conical, typical of seed-eating birds. The bird is gripping a white perch with its feet, and its tail feathers are slightly fanned out. The bird feeder is cylindrical, filled with seeds, and has a metal attachment. The background is a blurred green, suggesting a grassy area. The bird appears to be looking directly at the camera, with its head slightly tilted.

Nothing to see here, folks, just a very normal Venn diagram

@USBTypeSteve @briankrebs i would say no you need to keep it all together for context - range of inappropriateness is a metric you want to have, not discard unless personal or just abject atavistic? i mean where do you draw the line? i say keep it more abstract - it is just more data but you really want the context too #gestalt #venn and vector db

2 circles labelled ‘inside’ and ‘outside’
in the overlap it says ‘every pet, ever!’

#venn Is there a diagram here?

Manchmal denke ich, dass ich besser doch keine Werbung in meinem verbliebenen Facebook Profil für Mastodon mehr mache. Einige Leute möchte ich lieber dort zurücklassen.
Mein #Venn-Diagramm wurde direkt geklaut und selbst gepostet. Von einem „Freund“.

Das ist euch doch auch schon mal aufgefallen, oder?
