amateurs not welcome

[Dan Higdon]

Hear, hear!  I'm following this thread with some interest, cuz I'm trying
to do the same thing.  My timetable is sooooo looooong (since work
keeps me way busy) that I was just going to sit this one out, and
snag the resulting schematic. <he he he>

As a few of you know, I don't share Mathias' shyness about stupid
questions. :-)  Also, I can second Don's recommendation of Horowitz
and Hill's "Art of Electronics".  That, and the OpAmp Cookbook
(recommended to me by Ric) are both very informative.  They let
even a software geek like me with only a few semesters of
EE-level physics understand the esoterica of analog circuit design.
Give me shift-reduce language parsers any day. :-)

   I'd just like to thank Matt haines for asking some "stupid" questions. I
joined the list with just about no prior knowledge about about electronics,
but I'm lurking, reading, and slowly letting the pieces fall into place.
The external input (which must be one of the simplest circuits) questions
and answers taught me a lot, not just about "How", but also "Why". I'm sure
there's plenty of people on here that hesitates asking questions because of
the risk of seeming stupid. What I feel we have in common on this list is
not neccesarily the ability to design and build your own synthesizer, but
the desire to.
