[sdiy] overclocking BBDs

[David Moylan]

Blacet's time machine documentation lists minimum delay time of 10mS, 
which would require a clock of 409,600 Hz to get through 4096 stages in 
that time, correct?  Or since it's a bi-phase clock is it only half 
that?  Either way it's way above the claimed 100 kHz claimed clock limit 
of the MN3005.

If this thread is in regards to using BBD for physical modeling 
experiments it would be nice to find some MN3003 (dual 64 stage) or 
MN3006 (128 stage).  That would get you into decent audio range without 
any overclocking.  Good luck finding them though.  On a long shot I 
contacted Smallbear to see if Shanghai Belling might make a 
replacement.  We'll see.  Would be fun to do some experiments.

Paul Schreiber, maybe the MOTM Audio Engine could be used to make a 
V/Oct CV short delay line or tapped delay line even.
