Hi there!
I made a breadboard version of this simple 8 step sequencer on the weekend : https://hackaday.com/2015/02/23/logic-noise-the-switching-sequencer/
It's a lot of fun to play with.
I want to make a more permanent version, and I'd like to scale it up to have the sequencer drive 4 additional oscillators.
In the original schematic there are two signals that go to the oscillator: the common signal from pin 3 of the CD4051 which goes to the oscillator input pin, and the CD4051 switching signal (through one of 8 pots) that connects to the oscillator output pin.
If I want this to drive 5 oscillators instead of just one, I think I need to send both of these signals to 5 buffer inputs and send the buffered outputs to each oscillator.
With a bit more detail:
Common signal from pin 3 of the CD4051 to 5 inputs of a CD4069, 5 outputs of the CD4069 to 5 inputs of a CD40106.
Switching signal from CD4051 (through pots) to 5 inputs of another CD4069, 5 outputs of the CD4069 to 5 outputs of a CD40106.
Can anyone confirm if I've got the right idea here?
