[sdiy] Spin Semiconductor FV-1, anyone?

[Tom Bugs]

Heya,

I haven't looked at the DSP internals at all, but I did shove together a 
quick little test board for the chip I got from Small Bear ($17 - its 
surface mount by the way)
- I was interested in the fact that you can clock it externally and so 
made a simple 4046 based VCClock - a great and gnarly range of sounds 
ensued! But I've had other things to focus on so its still sitting in my 
workshop... Without too much difficulty you'd be able to voltage control 
the three parameters too! The one thing I noted was that you're not 
meant to use the presets (as supplied) in commercial apps - you've got 
to write your own. Perhaps a dev. group would be interesting / useful / 
fun?!

Best,
Tom
