[sdiy] Cheap frequency counter for oscillator calibration

[rob at emulatorarchive.com]

Hi
Having tried lab quality Frequency Counters, I now use PC software to 
tune by VCO's:
http://www.fmjsoft.com/chromatia.html

The software is low cost, works with my high quality sound card and has 
a full screen VISUAL display, so I can see it across the studio.
I just patch it into the AUX out from my mixer and away we go.

Accuarte to 0.1Hz and custom scales and MIDI as well.
You can see the VCO drift in real time, far better than watching numbers.

Regards
Rob
