Op-amps compare voltages and amplify the difference — a kind of analog thinking. With near-infinite gain and elegant feedback, they form the backbone of filters, mixers, and control systems.
- ⚖️ Differential input and high gain
- 🔁 Negative feedback and stability
- 🎚 Mixers, integrators, and comparators
- 🎛 Filter design and envelope shaping
In modular synthesis, op-amps are everywhere — hidden inside filters, VCAs, and utility modules. They don’t just amplify; they decide, blend, and shape.
