[sdiy] Tuneable CV Quantizer

[Happy Harry]

Why "Death to Doepfer" (a non list member) when it
could be "Life to Blacet / Wiard" (two long term
contributors)...

You can use the Blacet / Wiard Mini-Wave as a
CV quantizer with selectable scales. I've written some
scales for the EPROM and use this unit with my Theremin.

The EPROM comes with one bank set up as quantized scales.
The minimum resolution would be 1/4 tone... but the EPROM
is programmed in half step scales.

And when you're done... Hey its a wavetable too !!!

so say yes to list members !!!
