Re: [microsound] algorithmic hardware



you also can have digital systems running unclocked. asynchronous circuits save power because they don't have the drain of the clock's crystal, and are used in a growing number of embedded computers (inside pagers, etc). also a somewhat academic point.

isnt all digital electronics analog? its how you use it that makes it
dijital.


Quite true, but that´s mostly a rather accedemical point. When bundles of
banaplugs and a Serge modular are involved one tends to be more conciously
aware of this... Also; when the digital signals are within (what we
conventionally call) a computer they are inherently clocked while that need
not be the case for a purely analog D-A converter where you can for example
perform continuous pw modulation on the input signals (recomended).

In general you are completely right and I think this is a often overlooked
little bit of trivia. Because the terminology is far more black &white then
the reality many people get quite surprised when they hear bbd-based analog
delays need a anti-aliassing filter and that you can open them to adjust
this filter and have some fun...
