Complex Sound Generator IC is Back

Complex Sound Generator IC is Back | Popular Science: "Move over Monome: with just a fist-full of resistors, capacitors, potentiometers, and switches, the SN76477N can produce sounds that a microcontroller could only dream about. Featuring a super low-frequency oscillator, voltage-controlled oscillator, noise generator, and a mixer all on the same chip, the SN76477N can easily outpace most microcontroller-based synthesizers. Throw in a simple 9V power source and you're talkin' about a portable synth that can plug into any amp for some serious sound-makin'."
