ReplyDeleteI'd prefer Voltage Controlled Nostrillator - but I don't want to start a phlegm-war.
ReplyDelete566 chips are rare now and end oup costing $5 or so when yo find them. This book seems a bit dated considering that.
ReplyDelete$5 is cheap! where did you see those? i've seen them go for $20+ but that doesn’t matter really considering how much you save by cutting out all the other crap you would have to buy to get something comparable running using opamps etc...
ReplyDeletesomething like this will, in the long run, just raise the price, but it still a better price then the CEM an SSM stuff
Lots of us already have 566 chips in a box. Now we can do cool things with them. That's probably the audience for this old book.
ReplyDeleteThe SN74677 is obsolete, too, but people keep buying SN Voice boards from a guy in the electro-music.com forums.
