Transistor gate control?

[blackdiscoball]

So I've got a simple osc that I would like to control the gate of. I was thinking there should be a way to hook a transistor to one of the outs to use as a simple vca? Im basically just wanting to use a gate signal to have it either sound when voltage is applied, or no sound, when no voltage is applied. Anyone have a simple circuit that could do this?

I tend to keep a few 4093's specifically for this purpose. Scroll down to the NAND osc. section at this great site: http://www.vidiotsquad.com/synth-stuff/simple-oscillators/


I'm sure someone here will help ya regarding transistors, I use the 4093 cuz it's less stuff I need to keep track of on my builds.

You want transistor gate control? Alright..here ya go!

NPN transistor.

Input goes to the emitter, switch goes to the base, output goes to the collector.
