Just beware that there are numerous reports of currently-manufactured "XR2206" chips that fail to perform to datasheet specs, particularly with respect to supply voltage. The newer ones seem to fail above 10-12 V. True original chips (which ceased production around 2011 I think) should be fine.<div class="quote" style="line-height: 1.5"><br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>Subject: Re: [sdiy] NE566 Boon<br>From: Loscha <loscha@gmail.com><br>To: synth-diy@synth-diy.org<br>CC: <br><br><br type="attribution"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Surely the XR2206 is a much more capable and sophisticated chip.<br><br></div>And it's available in very cheap entry level kits like this:<br><a href="https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/401320404813">https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/401320404813</a><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 26, 2018 at 1:08 AM, Tim Ressel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:timr@circuitabbey.com" target="_blank">timr@circuitabbey.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

vaguely remember, this -- a 10:1 range function generator.
Probably had some and tossed them as more or less useless for EM.
But chaos might be a possibility.

<div>Also confused them with the 565 PLL and the 556 dual timer,
which is four comparators and two flip-flops in one package.
Might be useful.<br>

I still have a few NE566s that I bought at Radio Shack back in
the day.<br>
<br>
Hmmmm... how about some sort of "chaos" generator with multiple
566s <br>
cross modulating each other?<br>
