[sdiy] VC variable bit-rate audio digitizer? help!

[Steve Begin]

I was thinking about the same thing recently.  I think it would sound really
interesting but I figured it was out of my league and decided to try and
look into a sample and hold unit, which I've never heard in use but I would
have guessed might have a similar effect in some cases.  That also turned
out to be out of my league :)

I never though of having it voltage controlled though, i figured it would
use switches.

okay, for those not on AH, i brought this up recently
to general confusion and babble about digital "crust"?

the suggestions to nab a blacet/wiard miniwave have
been noted, and in time i will DEFNITLY be getting
one. 

however, in the meantime, i would again like to ask
for the help of anyone proficient enough in
electronics to assist me in designing this:

a module with one audio in, one audio out.  CV in, and
a manual knob to attenuate.  the function being a
fully adjustable audio digitizer from 16 to 1 bits
(higher than 16 is okay if price can be kept down, but
nothing lower).  

now, im just a moron who has only assembled a paia
modular and some crappy stompboxes, but im assuming it
would only need to be an AD/DA converter with voltage
control.  of course the chips dont appear to be cheap.
 easier said than done?  why dont you help me and find
out?

>> but i would like a bunch of these, maybe battery
>> powered stompbox style, and simple 1 space rack
>> modules.  any EEs want to collaborate on a project

>i can't help with the design, but yes, I want a few
>of these boxes too!
>best,
>phil

there is already an interested consumer market of two!
 he hee

thanks all!
