[sdiy] Inverting Amplifier as a Buffer Output.

[Harry Bissell]

If you have a modular synth (I assume this is the case...) you might have
multiple outputs, each with an 'outty' resistor. If all your input resistances
are the same (as I said earlier, 100K)... then when you calibrate that voltage
source you will remove the gain error.

even 10 ohms in series will cure cable capacitance instability... thay would be 
.01% error...

maybe you have a really really really good VCO ???   :^)

A or B will work. I need to consider the layout like you mentioned... maybe "b"
does lay out better...

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, if you are using it to buffer a
precision CV signal (like something which will be fed to the 1V/oct input of
a VCO, for example) then definitely use B.  The "outty" resistor in A will
cause tuning errors by creating a divider with the input resistor at the
receiving end.  The "inny" resistor in B will not.
