via Neil Johnson on the SDIY list: "I've just finished characterizing my latest module - a dual sine VCLFO based on an SSM2164. One VCLFO produces three sinewave outputs, 120 degrees apart, over a range of around 100Hz down to 12 minutes, and a second auxiliary VCLFO with a diode-shaped single sine output from 300Hz down to around 7 minutes.By changing the capacitors this could also comfortably work in the audio range, but there is no temp.compensation so I wouldn't recommend it for stable VCO usage. Alternatively, a couple of component changes and this will go down to an hour or more per cycle."
You can find samples and more modules at Neil's Webbly World.
PCBs are available.
