![]() ![]() Also, it’s a second-order filter for those of you who are into that sort of thing. I also wanted an active filter so that it accounted for the drop in gain from the filtering part. The fact that they have so many uses makes them… well, useful. Things like eliminating mic stand rumbles, cleaning up vocals, or making distorted guitars layer nicely. High-pass filters can be used for lots of things. Anyway, I settled on a Sallen-Key high-pass filter to be my first attempt. I asked Peterson for suggestions as to what he thought might be a nice simple filter design to adapt for my first circuit, and he kept trying to tell me about some sort of Salad he’d been eating the other day, and something about having lost his keys-he’s always doing that- so no help there. ![]() I tried to think of what would be a useful circuit to have in the studio, and I came up with high-pass, and low-pass filters. Since I'm not an Electrical Engineer, and I really don't know what I'm doing, I wanted to start with something as simple as possible. That’s when, all of a sudden, months later, it hit me: I could use these to design my own Colours! I said, “Thanks, no thanks,” and finished my model. Then, one day, out of the blue, when Peterson caught me using them as banquet tables for a model of the QE2 I was constructing, he mentioned in passing that they could be used to design and prototype your own custom Colours. We have so many of those little white rectangles lying around, and before I knew what they were I had come up with plenty of alternative uses for them (coasters, Tarot Cards, etc). Designing Your Own Colours (Without Any Electronics Knowledge) So since I've been putting so many of these "Design Your Own Colour" boards in the Colour Palette kits, I’ve decided it’s about time I got my hands dirty with actually Designing My Own Colours. I’m a musician, I like origami, and I’ve been working here at DIYRE for 5 months (Peterson still won’t tell me what the letters stand for).
