[sdiy] I have seen the light (litteraly)

[Mikael Mørup]

Sorry for these rambelings, but i just had to share this with someone.

I have just, for the first time ever, used a scope. And for the first time ever
seen the result of hooking up a synth to a scope.

This was a highly educating, almost religious experience. The squarewave of my
SH 101 is actually square :-) Just watching what the filter cut of freq. and
resonance does to a waveform is totally awsome. Add fltermodulation to that and
i freaqued out totally. I tried to convince my teenage daughter that this is
more interesting than watching the 5. rerun of Friends on TV, but she didn't
quite share my entusiasm.

Now i suddently understand the experienced guys on this lists claim that a scope
is a bare nessecity.

Highly recomendable - Don't have scope ? GET ONE ! mine is simple and cheap, but
it's like getting an extra sense you can actually see sound :-)

Sorry have to go - must calibrate my first DIY VCO.
