What can I do with my 40106s?

Usedtobe

Love this forum guys, I've been scouring it for months now. I'm a sound design student and every spare moment I have I devote to circuit bending, arduino fun, and lunetta style noise machines.

So I bought a whole lot of 40106s and mosfets to make kits. I still have pleeenty of them and am wondering what kinds of things I can do with them? I've got the oscillator part down with AM (so many people call it FM with these things), and a shitty FM implementation (help appreciated with that too!).

I know they're hella versatile chips, and I wanna put them to good use. I'm looking at using a couple of oscillators off of one at different speeds going into a 4511 decoder (cuz i have one!) to get some funky patterns. sound reasonable?

the file is two oscillators with AM from one 40106, through my DSI mopho. help me build a sequencer and i'll quit cheatin Wink

thanks!

Thanks for posting the clip!

Sequencers are not tough. Got a CD4017?
Search for "Baby 10" on this site for a very simple one.
Thanks for not lurking anymore! Smile

I look forward to hearing more from you - nice clip!

Welcome

The 40106 is a usefull chip all right

You can use them for Logic applications;

I also like the pulse stretchers on that page, very cool as sound modifiers.

Search the forum for Tom BugBrands Quad Clock schemo; I love the Sync function on those.

As well as the 4017, I like making sequencers out of other counters; 4024, 4029, 4516 etc. Very cool with an R/2R.
