Honestly I'm not even building diode ladder or anything related to synths, but I love watching your videos, because of how well the videos are made. Good job!
I love this series so much. I've been an analog repair tech and tester for a circuit company for years now but these videos have helped me grasp some fundamental understanding which I had been lacking all this time.
I’m a traditional old fart. I’ve seen waves of creativity go by over 4 decades of professional life. You are going to be a star. The technology, the art, the dynamic art of the lights, and not least of all, the music, will take you far. I can visualize a Rammstein album cover, music video and melody based on your work. You should do some demos. And yes old guys listen to them. Metallica paved a path for us old guys years ago.
Thank you for making this series. I have learned more from 2 evenings watching your videos than 40 years of fiddling with electronics. Your plumbing analogy is brilliant. I look forward to seeing many more tuturials from you.
These videos are really helping to open the doors of analog electronics. I have been wanting to make a filter, and experiment with weird, maybe counterintuitive topologies, but didn't know where to start. The difference between the positive offset and negative offset, plus the placement of the resonance, there is a lot to tune there. I would be really interested in how to turn this into an all pass filter, I have been wanting to get some of those phaser sounds.
yeah that's why i decided to go with this instead of another OTA-based approach. much more room for creative tweaking! (also LM13700s are expensive.) i'll do a follow up on converting this into other filter types. eventually i'd also like to do a PCB layout when i feel the featureset is refined enough.
@@MoritzKlein0 the fact that this design doesn't use any fancy components means I will likely be able to design a pcb to be assembled by JLCPCB, and have them do most of the components.
Excellent presentation! I am an electronics engineer, and I love the way you come at your explanations: e.g. the changing resistances of the diodes with current, in the resonator amplifier feedback circuit, and how the stage-gain is reduced at higher amplitudes by 'straightening out the exponential curve'. Very detailed discussion - most (including me!) would have just said 'diode clamp' and not considered the detail! Very helpful for those of us who think we know it all already 😆 Thank you🙏
*Wow...ONE BREADBOARD???!!! I wasn't expecting that. Seems somebody is German (or maybe Austrian, but that's not so different). Planning to make that. Thanks!*
Your demo song actually elicited some emotions in me (besides the standard "that sounds cool" excitement). That's an exceedingly rare thing. Great stuff.
I already have a decent amount of experience with VCFs, but I still learned something from this video! Your design is honestly brilliant-it's like a further simplified Steiner-Parker filter; your filter doesn't use a differential ladder, so it'll be much more stable with regards to temperature. I'll probably try my hand at a mathematical analysis of this filter soon.
@@MoritzKlein0 I'm busy on the Arp 4072 filter as of the moment, so it might be a bit before I getting to your filter. I'll let you know when I start on yours
This filter works really well. The other day one opamp on mine apparently failed. It's cool how these analog devices can sound nice even with a major damage. The sound was similar to warm distortion on a guitar. I suspect the reason for the failure Is that I modified the CV input and might be causing it to go way high on voltage on the ladder. Thank you for your work again!
Any breadboard layout schematics? Been trying to decipher what is in the video onto a breadboard style layout. Thanks in advance, if can post a reliable diagram of that.
That sounds great! Simple design too. I did one ages ago by taking a state-variable filter and replacing the two cutoff frequency resistors with boring old diode bridges, and basically doing the same positive/negative control voltage you've done across them. Worked really well too, plus you get low/band/high-pass out of it.
You, sir, are a fantastic teacher. Please keep making these videos. I hope you'll one day do a similar breakdown/comparison of other filter types, like the Moog transistor ladder, or late MS-20 OTA type.
I've come late to the game and your series here, but as a fan of ELP, Kraftwerk, and synths, I am absolutely fascinated! Your explanations are PRICELESS!!!!!! I am a hobby musician and have some electronics background, as well as a new scope I want to get to know, and your videos are PERFECT as a companion!! Very very well done, very consistent videos, and wow, I can't say enough good!!!
Being an electronics engineer, I can say that such sound and simple explanations for analog circuit design are tough to find. The logical flow and simple language helps one to be a 'part of the design process'.
I'm fascinated by the fact that so far, there hasn't been a single sighting of expensive transconductance amplifiers. I'm sure they'll be used in the future, but it's nice to know there's a lot of good control possible with bog-standard opamps. Well done man. This series is truly inspiring.
1. The "transconductance" op-amps would be needed if the filter's steering element was a BJT. 2. "Transconductance" amps are essentially amps pushing a set amount of current through the load... 3. ... which means you can do it with a "normal" op amp and some fancy feedback loop, if you don't mind part count explosion. 4. Internally they're current mirrors, so replacing them with discrete transistor pairs/trios would probably work too, for that old-school, wobbly sound.
@@MoraFermi Oh I'm aware OTA's are usually used in combination with a bjt, just loved the fact that there's a feeling of it being slowly worked towards. Parts explosion is fine in that case, because it facilitates the style of the video. More parts means less multi-function parts, means easier to wrap the mind around. Don't get me wrong, I do be liking the wobblies too, but I have a feeling this series is working towards more accurate modules later-on. Ideal diodes (Jim Patchel) in place of the split "dual"-filter elements would be a nice way to get the filter's "around 0v" area more linear (as well as it being a nice intro to waveshaping/folding). tldr; Yes :D
These videos are incredible. You do a fantastic job of teaching how these ideas work in a simple to understand way. I hope you have a great rest of your day
Just discovered your channel and I love it! You've reawoken the DIY synth spirit within me 😁 Also, loved the sequence, sounds almost 303 like but not. That's the cool thing about diode ladder filters; they sound rubbery and acidic.
This is the first video I saw of you. Your talent is marvellous! Both good at explaining electronics and making music. Awesome! Greeting from the Netherlands
I was searching for this kind of analogue electronics explanations all over the internet.. you really granted my wish. I hope you will cover more in future. Thank you very much.♥️+1
Hi Moritz, thanks for another great video! First off all: I would buy your drawings in an art gallery if they were signed by you :-). If you plan to build a stable and good "pro-version" in series, please consider the use of diode-arrays in one case. This allows good traking and temperature behavior and some are available in DIL or SIL-cases for easy prototyping. Cheers from Kaulsdorf, Christoph
great idea, thanks for the suggestion! i'm planning to do a proper PCB & panel once i've added at least a high-pass (and maybe a band-pass) option, so i'll probably use such an array then!
@@MoritzKlein0 Yes, and the Odd/Even diagram as well. Thank you for this series. Really motivates me to do electronics, after a long period only programming.
The best video explaining the diode filter I've seen so far! The style of your videos is very charming and it helped me learn a lot. Thank you! My choice is pretty limited in terms of getting photoresistors too, so this filter would be a nice option.
I made some iOS apps with a VCS3 filter emulation and taming that filter from going straight to full peak was a process. I may cover the ear that has some tinnitus when testing that filter on a breadboard. It’s like the sound of something flying up into the sky and then suddenly vanishing from this simulation
I really like the technique, it's not something I've come across before, and I can't wait to try it out! At 26:11, I'd have given the non inverting stage the gain and made the inverter unity gain. That way, you're not amplifying the noise from the first stage with the second.
i thought you'd end up having some noise problems because of the amplification but it turned out fine! amazing video as always!! if that wasn't the case i'd suggest zener diodes the ones rated to 3.6V would require a lesser reduction of volume (if i got the workings of the circuit right) so you'd have a greater separation between the signal and the noise floor during the amplification stage.
might be a good idea to try this since the output stage definitely is susceptible to picking up noise. you can keep it to a minimum by using proper decoupling & keeping the big gain op amp as close to the PSU as possible though!
Excuse the language, but this is Fking genius! To the others that also understand engineering, you know what I mean......Carry on please. I just had to drop my 2 cents.
*URGENT!: I need to pack (including the electronics assembly area) to go to another country and I need to get that filter functioning properly before I do! I finished building it on a protoboard (with similar layout to a breadboard, although an extra rail on top and bottom and some on sides), but it’s still not functioning yet. Sigh. That was as much work as building a small building with the right tools seemingly. And I know a building would actually function properly. Sadly the filter hasn’t functioned at all yet seemingly. There was a high pitch sound from some points on the board when had the dual supply a little low. Sadly no potentiometer has done anything to make it output sound from what is seemingly the output yet either. Was SOOOOOOO MUCH WORK. Sigh…* I have REALLY learned that I should ALWAYS have PCB made when making any electronics circuit that isn’t as simple as most guitar pedals. And then also prefer to have a proper PCB. Anyway, here are the photos. Maybe there is something obvious simple and easy issue on it that will be easy to solve. The dual power supply is at maybe 11.87V. Note: Swapped the ground and other rail on the side with the row of caps. Didn’t install the audio ports yet, simply using wires straight to speaker and a 555 synth. Disregard the other circuit on left of the breadboard, as that is a multistable vibrator that isn’t connected. Thanks in advance for advising SOON on how to make it start functioning! Tested continuity all over the place, although didn’t go through maniacally methodically to confirm all continuity at every single point in that circuit. Underside has no bridged columns and that is a breadboard style stripboard. So it’s laid out based on the final breadboard schematic in that erika synths manual for that filter. (version 2.0 of that manual) Photos are on imgur. Sadly youtube was deleting any comments with imgur links, so change the [dot] to a ".", obviously: imgur [dot] com/a/KFrPShY*

I think I never needed a Diode Ladder Filter. But it sounds interesting. However I built quite a few diode capacitor ladder high voltage power supplies.
I added voltage control to the resonance with a simple Santana JFET VCA, and added a non inverting summing stage to combine the CV and Resonance pot voltage, with clipping diodes to constrain the voltage to a range between roughly 0V and 5V. I had to flip the resonance input amp to an inverting configuration since the VCA is inverting the signal, and I didn't do the actual math to change the gain, I just guessed, but it seems to be pretty similar resonance. Here's a link to the falstad circuit: tinyurl.com/yz9nl6fo
Would you please comment the temperature dependency of the filter, because as you know most diodes have a negative temperature coefficient (about −2 mV/oC for silicon diodes). And the room temperature can be probably in range 15 oC to 30 oC and even more during the global worming ;-)
yeah ambient temperature will have an effect on the cutoff frequency. but afaik most filter designs don't compensate for this (unless you want to play it as a stable v/oct oscillator) because the effect shouldn't be that dramatic.
I hope you are saving all of your wonderful illustrations. They would make a fantastic book.
Reminds me of Forrest Mims' circuit diagrams

I really like the technique, it's not something I've come across before, and I can't wait to try it out!
At 26:11, I'd have given the non inverting stage the gain and made the inverter unity gain. That way, you're not amplifying the noise from the first stage with the second.
this would make it much more complicated to get the resonance amp's gain right unfortunately!
Looking forward to the follow-up
i thought you'd end up having some noise problems because of the amplification but it turned out fine!
amazing video as always!!
if that wasn't the case i'd suggest zener diodes
the ones rated to 3.6V would require a lesser reduction of volume (if i got the workings of the circuit right)
so you'd have a greater separation between the signal and the noise floor during the amplification stage.
might be a good idea to try this since the output stage definitely is susceptible to picking up noise. you can keep it to a minimum by using proper decoupling & keeping the big gain op amp as close to the PSU as possible though!
Next step could be the differential configuration with transistors as diodes like in TB-303.
