note that if you do want to use a dual supply, 2x 12V is too high for this circuit. For the opamps it's not a problem
but the 555, 4017, 4066 won't be happy with it. I am not sure if a 7906 (negative 6V regulator) is easy to find but
you could use an 7805 and 7905. In that case a 6V AC wallwart would suffice.

yes just leave the capacitor in but I would reduce it to 100nF..1uF since there is practically no load anymore which is the nice thing
when using an opamp and the reaon it works. The problem with just using resistors without the opamp is that if the load varies it will
affect the voltage. And this can result in bleedthrough where you will hear an LFO while it isn't connected to anything or oscillators
syncing to each other which is generally not what you want for drones.

For a dual supply I would suggest using a wallwart one which takes a single AC voltage and converts it to a dual DC supply.
You can have a look at the MFOS one: http://musicfromouterspace.com/analogsynth_new/WALLWARTSUPPLY/WALLWARTSUPPLY.php
Normally I would recommend using adjustable regulators like the LM317/LM337 but for a simple circuit like this using fixed regulators
works fine. Adjustable is useful when circuits use the supply as a reference voltage for creating something like a 1V/Oct CV though
ideally those would use a seperate more stable voltage reference.


Thank you for the advices!
Very Happy I definitely need to learn more about opamp circuits! I just started with lunettas, but got interested and want to learn about this kind of circuits.

"- a 10K resistor between the output and GND, this wil prevent any loud pops when connecting the device to a mixer/amplifier/efx unit whatever. "

sorry to bother you again, but do you or someone here knows why the 1n cap is used at the output on pauls circuit? I understand that the 100 uf is used for ac coupling, maybe its there for noise reduction? I think i'm going to add the 10 k here too as suggested but also a volume pot to attenuate the output.. it seems very hard on my amp.

if you add a pot after the capacitor you don't need the resistor anymore, but you could add an extra resistor in series to limit the maximum level.
The 1nF will work as a low pass filter making it a bit less harsh though it would be better with a resistor in series.
