[sdiy] Oberheim OB-Xa noise generator transistor

[Roman]

Biasing Vbe in reverse does not damage transistor, just like biasing Zener diode in reverse does not break it.

The noisiest transistors have the most popcorn and 1/f noise.  The ones with these smoothest white noise are very quiet. But whatever you like, of course.   That's why I'd always go for a nice long LFSR, for preference ;-)   But you can pick a noise transistor you like the sound of.  It's unique.  Analogue Warmth, or some damn thing.   --  Gordonjcp  ______________________________  Synth-diy mailing list   Synth-diy at synth-diy.org  synth-diy.org synth-diy.org  ______________________________  Synth-diy mailing list   Synth-diy at synth-diy.org  synth-diy.org synth-diy.org
