Hi All,
As a beginner in the analog synthesis DIY building area, I have some
questions.
Should I attempt to put an additional oscillator into my Moog Opus 3 or not?
To do this I understand I will have to build a whole new keyer/divider
board.
This would require the following:
1) Top Octave Synthesizer chip (MO82B or MO83B) - $40.00 US
2) 12 TDA 1008 keyer/divider chips - $6.00 US each
3) Duplicate the Moog 2 Mhz Oscillator - $?.?? US
4) Small and simple 5 input mixer - $?.?? US
(to mix the 1' , 2' , 4' , 8' and 16' output from Oscillator 1
with Oscillator 2)
5) Miscellaneous stuff I don' know about yet - $?.?? US
That's allot of bucks! More than $112.00 US!
Any comments on how (or if I should) proceed?
Is an additional oscillator worth it?
Will it fatten up the sound significantly?
Thanks,
Malcolm
