      I've got an idea! Can you make a synth with a panning option & one that makes the volume go up & down. Example 3 oscillators one is a bass where the volume is going up & down (maybe different ways like a wave or a sidechain) one oscillator is panning left to right or right to left (and you can control the paning speed/ how far left to right it goes) and the 3rd one is just a tweakable tone plus you can filter it etc? 😃 that would be awsome

      Hey Sam! So by absolute chance I came across a B&K 1022 BFO in a local thrift store today. They're asking $200, which sounds a bit more than what you've paid but I imagine these are rarer here in the states. I had read on a forum that some of these old B&K oscillators put out massive voltage, as they were meant for lab work, and they can blow mixers amps etc if not modded. Any knowledge of the voltage issues? Worried I'll blow out my stereo lol. It's in a super random grungy thrift store so I would be amazed if they even know what it is let alone that they may have tested it, any key things to test or look for before buying? Thanks!

    Awesome how you're getting such organic sounds out of white noise and the signals, must be the analog circuitry...sometimes like 50s sci-fi effects from the movie The Forbidden Planet, awesome man, it's like having mega-multi-band resonance filter at your finger tips with a large bunch of potentiometers.

    You have the absolute right kind of whackyness, I like you so much.
    I have two old function generators from 1970-1975 and I like to use them to display Lissajous figures on my 1970 oscilloscope. Some times I even interconnect them and listen to their beeping and sweeping :)

    When you've got the VCA version done... Imagine pumping a really really really really slow LFO into each one... maybe stick a bit of digital delay on it too and ....... ooooooooooh!!!!
