melodious sound generator

Would it be ridiculous for me to suggest a clock, a counter, a ROM and a DAC? Then you could generate any kind of sound you want...

You could use one of the 6-pin SOT-23 PIC 10F-series microcontrollers and program it make a wide variety of sounds, limited only by what you can fit into 256-words of program space. The cheapest ones are less than

Thanks for your feedback.

Due to other constraints of cost and size, the eprom solution would not be possible.

The phase shift oscillator is interresting, I will look into it but I'd probably need to add some sort of enveloppe control.

The idea of using a PIC looks the most promising, but it's definately more work than expected for this sound signal :) Considering cost is important for me I might use this idea in the end.

Anyways, many ideas I'll think about before I make my final decision, thanks to everybody, vic

Just filter your square wave with an R/C low-pass filter.

Good Luck! Rich
