Miroir de courantUn miroir de courant est un circuit électronique conçu pour copier un courant traversant un dispositif actif, par le contrôle du courant dans un autre dispositif actif, de façon à maintenir le courant de sortie, Io, égal au courant à copier, IREF, quelle que soit la charge appliquée au courant de sortie. Le courant « copié » peut être un courant variable dans le temps. Conceptuellement, un miroir de courant idéal est simplement un amplificateur inverseur de courant ou une source de courant contrôlée.
Tape loopIn music, tape loops are loops of magnetic tape used to create repetitive, rhythmic musical patterns or dense layers of sound when played on a tape recorder. Originating in the 1940s with the work of Pierre Schaeffer, they were used among contemporary composers of 1950s and 1960s, such as Éliane Radigue, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and Karlheinz Stockhausen, who used them to create phase patterns, rhythms, textures, and timbres.
History of multitrack recordingMultitrack recording of sound is the process in which sound and other electro-acoustic signals are captured on a recording medium such as magnetic tape, which is divided into two or more audio tracks that run parallel with each other. Because they are carried on the same medium, the tracks stay in perfect synchronization, while allowing multiple sound sources to be recorded at different times. The first system for creating stereophonic sound (using telephone technology) was demonstrated by Clément Ader in Paris in 1881.
