MAT 02 etc

[J.G. Wong]

Analog devices is not offering samples anymore of MAT 02,03 and they are
not showing the price when I went to the order page.  They have added an
number of different types to the line so I assume it is on the way up in
usage instead of down. 

I considered the LM394 asa replacement but I have not been able to find
out if they hold up in vcos the way a MAT 03 does when potted with a
small tempco.  Stability is important  but  I would prefer not to build
a chip heater unless it is a requirement.   I looked at the SSM 2010 but
I am very wary of using SSM chips in the volume that would be needed for
this project  I am sitting on five SSM/Curtis machines that I am still
collecting replacements for.  If they hadn't abandoned their synth chip
line I wouldn't be so wary of their trademark.
