[sdiy] VC Waveshape, etc. with an 8038

[R. D. Davis]

While thinking about ordering some 8038's to play with, I was doing a
little research about them and happened upon the following:

Quoting Jessica Rylan  from
http://module-records.blogspot.com/2005/08/very-personal-synth.html:

   I needed a small synth that I could easily take on an airplane. I
   built this synth in a simple and straight-forward way, using 8038
   chips for the oscillators and plenty of op-amps. I found a trick with
   the 8038, you can drive the sine distortion trim pin from a voltage
   source, for vc waveshape! But the true magic is a diode bridge vca,
   like in the Korg MS50. Why didn't I ever build this before? It's a
   very special intermodulation! Two oscillators, noise, and a mic preamp
   all swimming around each other, it runs on 2 9-volt batteries, it's my
   favorite so far!
