I use two analog devices AD9833 for clock generation for the programmable universal switched capacitive filters MAX261.
The AD9833 must be the hardest part to solder in this build.

The preliminary diagram, no values filled in and it will evolve while building.

Dat is interessant! Hoe klinkt ie?

Pretty good! So how hard is it to solder that ic, a lot tighter than soic8?

How does it sound? Dunno, am soldering and designing the board.
I have already built a similar filter on my noise module and the soundfile of the noise module is here
The distance from center leg to the next is in the AD9833 0.5mm, while the SOIC has 1.27mm, so yes, soldering is quite tedious. Luckely I have an old stereo preparation microscope to do this kind of work.
I will build the filter on the board and than breadboarding the controls for testing purposes.
Each MAX261 has two filters on board, and the idea is to have the first used as a low pass filter and its output fed into the next and from the second filter section to use the low pass and band pass filter and make some kind of cross over and also add the original signal (the amplification of one section is -1x so two in series makes a 1x amplification, so in phase with the input exept near the center frequency of the filter).
So, I don't know how the end result will be schematics and sound wise...

I have been programming the filter, and here are the first results.
Now the face plate and the wiring...

Nice! I like your non-standard approach to design of musical circuits.

Very nice. And that's no easy soldering job even with a stereo microscope. I tried a little basic SMT once, finally took it to a customer of mine who did it roboticly. Was cool to see that, but I think your solder job looks just as good.
