Tools needed.

>I presume I will need an oscilliscope and frequency counter.

Although a scope is handy, it is not completely essential. I built a 8
voice polyphonic synth without the use of a scope. I did it with a Tandy
DVM and a probe attached to a hifi amp to listen by ear to all the DC
thumps and audio weazes. But a scope helps a lot for sure, I never knew
that my one of my CV buffers was oscilating at 2MHz. What I would like
is an audio output to my scope... older types used to have a y output,
but not mine.

Frequency counter... never had one here. Although I used to use them a
lot at work. I prefer a good chromatic tuner. Korg make some brilliant
models, and actually more use for tuning V/oct scales etc.
