Op-amps compare voltages and amplify the difference β a kind of analog thinking. With near-infinite gain and elegant feedback, they form the backbone of filters, mixers, and control systems.
- βοΈ Differential input and high gain
- π Negative feedback and stability
- π Mixers, integrators, and comparators
- π Filter design and envelope shaping
In modular synthesis, op-amps are everywhere β hidden inside filters, VCAs, and utility modules. They donβt just amplify; they decide, blend, and shape.
