Each of these ICs contains a ROM with $12 mu- sical notes, tone generator, rhythm generator, timbre genentor, moduktor, ‘run-of? control, oscillators, frequency divider and preamplifiers. So a very few number of components have to be connected exter nally to set up the timing of built-in oscillator and to build up an extemal AF amplifier/driver circuit. ‘Transistor T1 (SL100) is used as an amplifier driver connected to on-chip preamplifier output (pin 11) to driveany 8-ohm or 4-ohm loudspeaker directly Resistor R1 controls tempo, ic. the speed at which the tune is played. Tempo can be varied as per choice by changing the value of R1 within 82 to 150 kilohms. lc ~ 33pF ceramic disc lc + 0.048 ceramic disc Ls Bee eee st + Pask-to-on switch + I6pin IC socket, PCR, hnttery holder, enclose, Bebe wite ot.
