BBD-MN3010 and MN3011- is a MN3101 clock necessary?

The 28 pin AT90S2333 or 4433 look nice for this kind of application.
(8MHz costs around $7 has 20 I/O pins and onboard 6 channel DAC)

Yes sure, but part of the fun is to let the uC do more, like LFO or ENV.
The analog inputs let you CV the uC.
Also using the optimum dead time may improve S/N ratio.
The S/H trick should keep the clock noise out, the dead time may affect
leaking
and switching effects inside the divice.

?

Yes you can program all AVR's (Tiny, S, Mega) with STK200, STK300 or Micro
ISP module.

Don't use the board to program.
Just include a ISP conector on your PCB and use the cable that came with the
STK to hook it up to your computer.
The ISP connection does not eat I/O pins, see the STK manual for a "how to"
example.


Hope this helps,
