Hi
can you suggest me a pdf, with circuits of tone generators, common opamp oscillator circuits, simple schematics... with easy to understand explications...
step by step, no mathematics, for dummies ... ??


Thank's Very Happy

Wow, well, I've not seen a single PDF with nothing but tone generators - I'm going to assume you mean oscillators.

There are a literal plethora of schematics on the web within the reach of a Google. They range from extremely simple - (see the Lunetta section of this site... maybe you've been there...) to the complex and elegant (being voltage controlled and highly accurate).

Perhaps you could narrow down to what you want to achieve?

Does a tone generator need to be voltage controlled or just a pot?

Does it need to be temperature stable?

Does it need to be particularly low power (as in battery power)?

Does it need to have wide pitch range?

In what sort of waveforms are you interested?

Does it need to be inexpensive? (as in not made of rare parts or made of only a few parts)

This: http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-19166.html is a particularly nice thread with a SERIOUS list of websites with tons of schematics, many of which could be called "tone generator".

Thank you for your kindly reply...

I'm sorry... I attached a file to explain what I'm looking for... but then I delete it...

I'm not essentially looking for schematics, I'm looking for their explication... "there are a literal plethora of schematics on the web" but without explication of what components do and why... when... Wink
and I found electronics handbook for engineers... too much for my head...
I'm looking for something basic with not too much mathematics explications, because mathematics is not what I'm looking for...
and I'm looking for something related to music/sound, I'm not interested to light strobe bulbs Wink

Inventor link me this schematics some times ago. It was sweet because for first time I quite understand what I was doing populating a pcb ;D

Very Happy


sorry for my english, probably on Jupiter they speak english better then me... Wink

Oh! Sorry then... It's a good question though, but I have no good answer.
