[sdiy] pneumatic oscillator

[Batz Goodfortune]

Y-ellow Jim 'n' all.
         Well bugger me. A "No Cathode" tube synth. How do you measure 
noise and distortion with a thing like that?

Christ. Now you've got me thinking about how to voltage control it. Stop 
that right now. :)

Oh. Ok. I was thinking, since I've been messing with old CD drive 
mechanisms of late, of a variable plug on a servo like a slide whistle. And 
then sticking a bit of metal at the top and a coil like a guitar pickup.

"That's crazy but it just might work."

Nice one Jim. Samples please. :)

Be absolutely Icebox.
