Smooth glissando or frequency sweep using entropy


Just playing a test tone record on a turntable with power off.


Subtle friction together with moment of inertia (flywheel effect, the analog of inductance)  create a very smooth decrease in angular velocity that lasts for many seconds.


Set up:


NAB test record, track with a 1KHz tone - Stanton cartridge - Technics MKII turntable - Tealistic Disco mixer - Sennheiser HD 580


It is very interesting that while frequency is changing the VU Meyer needles on the disco Mexer stay constant. Is this a nice test for RIAA curve?
