MM5837?

[Harry Bissell]

The MM5837 was intended for uses like room equalization, where the PSEUDO
random nature is a feature, not a bug.

Synth manufacturers had a tough time getting consistant noise sources... one day
a tech
can do 20 units... next day he struggles to get 2....

So they (mis) use the MM5837... then when musicians get them, they are furious
(for the
most part)... I remember my Prophet V... i was B!TCHING "$3,500 for a g at dd@m
synth and they put in a noise source that goes click....click....click....?"  Oh
great. So I tried to make an analog retrofit, but it was not compatible with the
"poly-mod" noise section because of level differences. So I did the longer shift
register unit, and lived happily ever after... until i foolishly sold the
synth...

Most people agree the MM5837 svcks!  Even more than agree on BBD's....
