Nonlinearcircuits (NLC) Dispersion Delay, Triple PT Delay Module - Demo
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The NLC Dispersion Delay is a really interesting module I've become very fond of, 3 x PT2399 delays with bandpass filters on the inputs and individual outputs. In typical nonlinearcircuits fashion, the delay chips have been pulled further into the realms of of noise and chaos than their usual lofi-delay use.
If you're looking for a Make Noise Strega alternative in module form, this probably isn't it, but it's certainly a source of texture, noise and happy accidents.

I liked when you turned that one knob that was next to the other knob. That was awesome.
There were some cool effects he got from all those switches also.
Great demo. So many great NLC modules out there.
Usually quite unique modules too!
love this thing. sort of like the t-resonator. you've really got good control of this thing, it's not easy to tame
There's big chunks of footage chopped out where i struggled to find a good sound haha but cheers! I'd love to get my hards on a t-resonator at some point, they look wild.
Oh man that sounds amazing.
This thing is really interesting.
It's almost a good thing that it has a narrow spot, so with modulation in, it doesn't always delay... I assume u could change the frequency behaviour too building it.
you can get cleanier sound of it (and any other pt based) if you keep input level lower - if its too high for whatever the margin is it will clip and distort. its better to level down on the input and level up afterwards if needed.
damn man, some boppin patches up through 3:00, esp that second one! awesome work. looking at noisier delays along the lines of a verbos multi delay since that one is pretty hard to find.
That was great!
Sound like the DPLR from WMD but with more control, I regret so much selling mine :'( They don't make it anymore, so maybe I'll make some place for this one !
My issue with NLC modules is that I like to feel that I'm the artist, not that the module is the artist. Or that the balance is weighted toward me being the one doing interesting things. If you know what I mean. That's something I felt with the Soma Lyra as well. As much as I loved using it, and felt time virtually disappear, I sometimes felt I was making someone else's music. I also don't like it when I turn a knob and nothing appreciable happens. That being said, I'm always tempted by the NLC modules and will probably order a delay or phaser within the next year.
Nice demo, by the way.
Maybe this is a mindset born of being a DAW-musician who mostly resamples modular explorations: but I find the 'art' when it comes to stochastic/chaotic/random modules is both in the selection of modules & finding of sweetspots, and then later curating their sonic output into an arrangement that's of musical value. It's a bit like collage art.
Voltage Block is my friend with thingies like this 😁 or poly 2 w/ octatrack 🤘
Awesome!!
I wonder if it is possible to change the resistance of the Freq Knob to get a much more range on it.
I reckon it would be for sure, something i might look into
@@Earther._ the below is stated in the Build guide,
8. Regarding the mods shown on PG1. The point of these is to get a
good usable range from the FREQ pots. The three resistors marked 47k
on the PCB adjust the point where the LED starts to turn on. The
three resistors marked 100k adjust the gain of the LED driving op amp.
The resistors marked RL set the current limit for the LED. Some
tweaking of these resistors may be required to get the best useful
range from the FREQ pots, as in, it is good to have the LED off when
the pot is at 0 and fully lit at 10 (or 11). Currently I am happy
with replacing the 47k and 100k with 220k and using 2k2 for RL.
@@djdozoz yes I changed them in my build, after I built it the standard way first. Definitely recommend doing that. Got a bit more useful range out of it, 10 to 3 or thereabouts.
I totally agree- I think the bandpass bands for each delay are WAY too narrow and the overall frequency ranges are way too broad.
It's incredibly hard to tune them to hear the inputs. I've spent hours nudging the knobs back and forth trying to find the "sweetspot"
Any advice? I didn't build this module so I'm not sure if there are trimmers on the back to change the response curve.
I love Andrew's work but this one is a real puzzle.
I didn't build this one either but a friend who builds modules told me there's changes you can make to certain resister values to make it more usable. But I'm a bit lazy for that, I've just taken it for what it is 🤷♂️
How did you get the synth/oscillator sound at ~ 0:50 onwards? Some kind of FM or wavefolding?
Do you find yourself using this often?
my dispersion delay is kind of "silent" I need to put a lot of gain to the signal to hear it probably. how about yours? And I only hear delay sounds when I crank delay up till close to before it starts to go into zippering mode and with feedback cranked up
It's a really steep and broad bandpass filter on the input, as long as I've got the frequency in the sweet spot then I don't have issues with levels
From the build guide, depending on what sort of vactrol is installed, some tweaking of the resistor values may give you a better range.
