[sdiy] tough decision

Mon Feb 21 09:04:58 CET 2005

Simple really - get more 566 :)

I have a small pile of tin-can NOS 566 that I doubt I will ever use. Make a
reasonable offer.

Midwest Analog (in Nuts and Volts back issue).

it will be doing mostly FM stuff, but it will be pretty much a self
contained synth with 2 VCA's and 2 VCF's etc.

put them all 4 together and not put in any other oscillators - the 566's
would be the LFO's as well.

>Sounds settled but a little voice in my head says 'maybe you could do
something cool with just the one or put it together with some of the 567's,
564's or 565's that you have.'

>I know in the end it will end up being whatever I feel like doing, but I
wanna know: what would YOU guys do?

>I don't think I'll ever be getting any more 566's. They seem really well
suited for FM synth apps though. I thought about making them all into a
whacky large metal space chime using those piezo-gyros I have... (though I
may still put those in my xr2206 picogenerator)
