[sdiy] voltage quantizers

[mark verbos]

Hi there,

I need to build an 8 channel quantizer for a friend. Nothing fancy,  
just semitone scale, but it must be quick. There has been a lot of  
talk about Chris List's ARP style quantizer over the years. Scott  
Stites recently did an updated version and had success, but I have  
been wondering. How fast is the action on these things?  Would it not  
be a better solution to multiplex 8 channels around an 8 bit AtoD  
followed directly by an 8 Bit DtoA? Has anyone done this? The Buchla  
MARF does something like this, but using a discrete flash converter.   
I'd think IC converters would be even faster.

Just hoping for some discussion...
