I have a simple 555 timer, using a capacitor and two linear 10k pots as the resistors.
Standard stuff for most of you who will reply.
I am completely new to this. I am one of those people who needs to know how things work from ground up to fully understand it.
I want to make my own synths, filters and such... So I understand most concepts I will need, and what I don't understand makes sense as the small gaps in my understanding are completed through people who help, like you.
What I don't understand is this:
If I attach an audio taper to a speaker cable (if I remember correctly from my younger years) it would turn down the volume(gain) of the music.
Yet this little device, it tapers the gain, but also decreases the frequency of the pulse simultaneously.
My question, is how do I decrease the volume without decreasing the pulse interval? (frequency).
