I do not know of a specific meaning for electronics, I searched the site you linked to but did not find the word "bead" there - just nice synth stuff :-)
Do you want the french word for "bead" ? http://www.wordreference.com says :
perle, goutte, grain (perle)

I am just guessing, but since this site is about synth circuits, I think bead means a little donut shaped piece of ferrite material that you put a wire through. They are used to increase the inductance of the wire which will act as an RF filter and reduce interference.

Yes, Ken uses these on the power in lines of all of his modules to reduce any potential RF interference on the power lines. You have the option of replacing it with a 10 to 22 Ohm resistor, which is what I always do with no adverse effects. I use 10 Ohm resistors.
Cheers,
Scott |
