The easiest thing to do is to take Blacet's mixer and put it behind
a MOTM panel. Larry Hendry did an amazing job with his. Maybe
I'm the only oddball on the list that needs a mixer that can do
several AC inputs (50hz-5kz) as well as slow DC stuff like EGs.
With that said, Paul mentioned an opamp that was only good to
15Hz. No matter how low of a DC offset it may have, it is totally
worthless in synth applications. The slew rate on said opamp
would be horribly slow, and would mangle most normal control signals,
and most definitely would alter a saw waveform. Analog Devices
makes some instrumentation amplifiers with wide bandwidth (some
out to 25Mhz) with extremely low DC offset and drift. A couple
have <25microvolt offset with <.25microvolt per Centrigrade drift.
That would satisfy me. The price? $1780.
