[sdiy] Bass synth update... sorta.

[Steve Maietta]

Second osc. is not so important imho for a bass synth.  I'd rather see the LFO reach into audio range than a second oscillator if I had to have one. 

Real mixer for osc(s), sub osc, and external input.  None of that osc 1/2 mix knob BS.

Allowing inverted envelope modulation of the filter opens up sonic territory...  


Lay it out w/a separate board for the pots, and feed through vias for the board to board connections.  Make matching mounting holes on each board so the whole shebang can be mounted right behind the front panel.

(I say this because it's something I'd like to build myself!!)
have fun!
