[sdiy] AztecMkII preliminary

[Michael Ruberto]

I am quickly getting overwhelmed by the # of projects I have begun to plan. 
I have to get all the ideas on paper before I forget them. I'll share one of 
those projects now since so many have inquired about it.

AztecMkII Wave Modifier

Progress: Some schematics

Changes: Fewer controls for less panel real-estate. Control voltage 
circuitry redesigned, simplified. Output amplitude correction circuit 
redesigned to reduce current consumption (no more hot components). VCA 
eliminated. Signal input circuit simplified. Power regulators will provide 
the circuit with it's own power supply to prevent interference in other 
modules. Three simultaneous outputs to allow dynamic blending between linear 
step, exponential step, and logarithmic step waves.

Further Possibilities: Modifications to add frequency multiplication 
(Fritz's 5 Pulser).

Materials: Parts count greatly reduced. Need to order parts next payday (and 
some actual test equipment too). It's looking like 5 ICs so far.

Well there it is on paper. The schematics are not finished yet and probably 
won't be finished until I buy a breadboard and parts. Stay tuned...
