OK, you asked for it...

<drumroll....>

THE fantastic and marvelous.... 4069UB

Versatile little bastard being able to do both analog and digital processing.
Combined with your favorite passives and you can get alot out of it, including
noisy and distorting filters, VCAs, VCOs, LFOs, EGs etc. etc.

OK, it is not very WIDELY used, but it sits here and there in commercial synths
if you care to look around so it is not a totally odd selection...

Cheers,
Magnus
