Homemade Signal Feedback Controller

Used modules may be cheap, but there's always a risk they won't work right. This little doodad solves one problem but creates another. I'm not fond of the extra clutter it entails... Hear finished music at http://drphlogiston.bandcamp.com

A creative way to restore reverb. I wonder if the problem could be the rheostat. Easy enough to check with an ohmmeter. Do you have any fader lube? I can’t vouch for fader lube personally but I’ve seen a lot of people who do. I can personally vouch for Caig Deoxit. It’s expensive stuff but it last forever and it really cleans up things like noisy jacks and hinky battery terminals. Can the delay module be used for control voltages? Ever tried running ADSR through delay and then on (or back) into something like the filter? Or maybe bring in a second VCA to get another completely different voice playing on a tiny delay?

The feedback knob is acting like a very fine tuning delay-rate knob. I did poke at the pot with an ohmmeter and it seemed to test okay. Probably a chip is bad or a circuit board trace is shorted. Interesting idea, sending CV through the delay. "Trigger delays" are fairly common and are used to offset a clock or do multiple bursts per every incoming trigger pulse. It can be risky - some modules process audio and CV with equal aplomb, but most are built for one or the other. A "DC coupled" VCA can pass audio or CV .. but the VCAs in Skis I think are audio only. Envelope generators have a strictly CV input. If you feed it audio you could potentially wreck it. Since this DLY is going to have to be replaced eventually anyway, I may give it a try. The delayed signal will be "dirty" .. not an exact copy of the original.
