[sdiy] monolithic VCO chips for FM??

[James Patchell]

It depends on what exactly you want to do with them.  Monolithic oscilators 
that are availiable are the 8038, XR2206, XR2207...plus a few others.  If 
you want to use these as pitch sources for a synth, well, in my opinion, 
forget it.  Those parts have problems that cause them to me non-linear, 
some a quite bad.  If you are not concerned with pitch, any of those will 
work.  Otherwise, I would stick with a tried and true VCO like the TM 
(ASM-1) type....
