PLAN B analog blog

demo would be good
but that way
1 first signal
2 second signal
3 splice
with differrent options of inputs

rewire demo gives some impresion but it is to messy with which signals 
are what

thanks

Hi.

  People have commented to me offlist that they're sometimes not getting
  the result they expect from the Splicer - that being smooth
  transactions between the two signals when the splice is swept
  backwards and forwards. If the two inputs are phase aligned - like
  two different outputs of a single VCO it will be quite smooth, but if 
two different VCOs or any misaligned signals are merged - like
  samples - then you'll hear the splice. There's a reason for this:

  Let's say you're splicing two pure tones --> sine waves from two
  different VCOs. While one may imagine that the splice of the two
  would be as pure as the constituent parts, please keep in mind that if
  the point of intersection yields a sudden arbitrary jump in energy
  level (let's say one input is at 1 volt while the second is at 3 volts
  in it's cycle when the splice occurs), that hard edge, resembling the
  steep slope of a square wave will effect the purity. What looks like
  a square wave sounds like one, too. The hard edge created by the
  sudden two volt jump from input A to input B, given it's happening
  once a cycle will buzz and some account this to distortion... to the
  letter of the law I guess it is...but it's not created by the circuit,
  it's simply the nature of the signals being processed through it.

  hope this helps,
