<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was looking at the analog devices site and I'm
came across this IC.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>AD538. It's a realtime analog computational unit
with the transfer function:</FONT>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Vout = Vy*(Vz/Vx)^m</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Vy, Vz, and Vx are inputs and m is chosen with
resistors. m can range from 1/5 to 5.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I thought this might make an interesting module but
I'm not quite sure how to go about using it for audio. I wonder if anyone
has thought of building something similar? After looking around I found the MOTM
wavewarper which seems to do exactly this. I wonder if it uses the same
chip.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>this IC costs about $35 but I figure if it sounds
cool then it'd be worth it.</FONT></DIV>
