BLOCK DIAGRAMS..

I’ve drawn all the basic patches in the form of block diagrams like the one below. Audio connections are shown in light blue, control voltage connections in salmon red and trigger signals in light brown. They are the patch cords but laid out neatly! Arrows show the signal flow.

This (below) was the first model I constructed. A mainframe computer program (by Kevin Karplus and Alex Strong) had already been written to demonstrate that a string tone could be generated by inputting random numbers into a looped digital delay line. It seemed therefore to be a good starting point for building block ideas and general system proving.
