encoder audio

I was wondering that is it possible to module a signal, audio file, with himself?

Tried it, but the result is not that good...

if you amplitude modulate a signal with freq a with another signal with freq b the resulting spectrum is freq a+b, freq a-b.

so, if a signal is amplitude modulated with itself it will be a+a=2a, a-a =0, which is what you get with that patch

Yes, that is purpose of the delay unit, it should delay the second signal a bit ... or maybe I'm totally wrong, and it is fully a dead end :D

Not a "fully dead end", just of pretty limited usefulness. It's a feedforward comb filter. See also the comb~ object.

I'm trying to implement something new, something unusual into my granular synths next update, but still searching for something useful for experimental sound designer artist...

Thank you for the info.
