Electronotes and Synth-DIY CD

[Martin Czech]

:::Ummm, no offense, but every Synth-DIY schematic I have

:::replace the KE4839 FET with two 4066 sections and the
:::CA3046 with a MAT-02 and the op-amps with TL-082 etc.
:::It is still Terry Mikulics design for a sawtooth VCO.

Ummm, no offense, but it seems to me that at least some of the designs,
especially triangle vco stem directly from the Harris app. note,
other designs come from scientific publications and the reference is
given. 

I think this applies also for the frequency shifter.

The circuits were allready there, before E.N.

It seems to me that Mr. Hutchins has read and understood
an enormous amount of literature and boiled that down so that we
get an extract and don't need to read these tons of paper.
And that was/is a very good job!

OTOH I aggree that there are some unique ideas on circuits,
given either by Mr. Hutchins or other contributors.
Some of the ideas are basic, so somebody might invent the wheel
again, without even knowing that it is all there...

I must say that I prefer a paper version much more then a CD,
the scan resolution is allways limiting and it is allready
a drag to read all these online data sheets and app. notes
on the screen, finally I'll print them out...
