Relationship between discrimination and tone break?

[Steve Stacey]

Hi

Just trying to understand the relationship between tone break and discrimination. There are various scenarios to illustrate my confusion.

1. Splitting 202 (“dynamic”two tone, three tone etc) If the first 202 has no tone break assigned, then discrim will be zero? (Ultimate prog etc)

2.If there is no split tone, then discrim will equate to tone break assigned to first tone?

3. What happens if you set the tone break (first tone) as X, but discrim on Y. Does the discrim also change to align with tone break?

Hope that makes sense

Thanks

No one knows

Thanks anyway.

Is it to enable the iron buzz sound, to allow target separation?

I am no expert, I dig it all. Just learning to cherry pick very deep, faint, scratchy signals and after many years I believe I am doing it right and got the machine tuned to my hearing.

Its a good question Steve Stacey, I would like to know the definitive answer, explained in layman terms as well, can anyone help?

That sounds very complex Steve, I am no expert but I would assume that there is no interaction between discrim and tone break... ie. discrim acts the same across all tones, but I like your thinking.

Thanks for responses. It’s probably of little consequence, but I do like to know the ins and outs blah blah. Some of these “dynamic” two tones assign a tone break to first 202. (eg Sid’s hammy prog) His dynamic three tone has 202 for 0-3.2, then 202 again for 3.2 to 28. In that scenario, 3.2 is discrim. I guess he would argue that this is better than one tone (202) covering all values from 0-28? Then our Gary assigns no tone break to his first 202 in the Ult prog. Just interested to know thinking behind these subtle differences.

Gracias y adios.
