[sdiy] inexpensive chips for oscillators (still learning...)

[Harry Bissell]

of course someone will say. the 555 tends to draw a huge amount of current
when it switches, causing oscillators to sync with each other in many synth circuits.

The 7555 is the recommended chip to use...

Hi everyone,

New here.  Hi.  How's everybody?  Fine?  That's good.

After skimming through the two Forrest Mimms books I have and "Make:
Electronics", both books are making a point that 555 and 556 chips are
a good (and cheap) start for breadboarding oscillators.

I'm planning on a bulk purchase (bulk meaning around 10) of the above
mentioned chips and was wondering if there are any other cheap chips
along the lines of the 555 and 556 that can be used for oscillators?
I'm going to search online for advice as well but thought I'd run this
question by everybody here.

Thanks.

-Bob
