Re: Quantizer delay: test results -- making gate pulses from quanti

2003-02-17 by peff2cv <m_2_f@hotmail.com>

FWIW, I mentioned a nonlinear slope to the unwanted portamento on the
QTKB--on second look it seems very close to a cap charge/discharge
curve. There's most likely a cap somewhere on the input circuitry of
the QTKB that is introducing this slew. If changing this cap value
doesn't affect the tracking/sampling inside the QTKB, this may be a
quick fix.
