Has anyone figured out how to rig a CV input to this synth? This could be a cool "take-along" synth, perhaps with a simple MIDI/CV interface...

it would be a better idea to build the very simple wp-20, it's a fully featured synth with vco, ad module, lfo, noise gen, . it's unsupported but people keep on building it. it's featured on the same site:

This couldn't be more timely for me; I just finished a super simple 555-based tone generator (digital pulse tone goodness) and was working on a transistor-based circuit. My collection of 70's and 80's electronics books is handy, but doesn't go quite far enough. Thanks!! :-)
