[sdiy] OBXa LFO questions

[Chris McDowell]

This page. 



And it's this section of the circuit: 


Half of U150 + U157 make up a little VCO (our LFO. 1 of 2, this is the upper LFO).
The other half of U150 + U149 + U148 make up a sample and hold. 
That middle 4053 section selects between noise and the LFO triangle output, the 4053 further right selects between that result and the LFO square output. That final 4053 selects between all this (the upper LFO) or the lower LFO, which I assume is for when you aren't splitting the keyboard and all voices are on the same preset, thus using the same LFO.
