[sdiy] panning vca

[Joe]

Hello and thanks. My power supply is the bipolar power supply circuit
provided by General Guitar Gadgets found here
http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/ggg_bipolar_ps.pdf
I have used it before but for other circuits that generate cv. There
never seemed to be noticeable downstream noise in the audio in those
circuits. Those circuits were the EFM pv-1 and an envelope circuit Harry
Bissell sent me, also EFM I bet. I used 3080s in those, too. I find the
same noise where the ground is connected from the bipolar power supply
board to the panning vca board, by the way.
 My audio probe is a 0.1uf cap on the tip of an audio cable with the
audio cable shield connected to ground.
 So, before I try to use a LM13700, is there some procedure I can use to
determine the noise source. Removing ICs and powering up or something
like that?
