Yeah, that's it.any particular/technical  reason for the use of a tl062 on the sdx zero point delay?

Clayford

Because it's a common, easily obtainable, often onhand part? It's audio characteristics aren't terrible, it makes a great buffer, and those of us that know a better part that could be used will if we desire?


Just speculation.

Well, why not another 072 then,it has better slew rate and much lower noise!?

Cause it's in the LFO, it has no effect on noise or the audio path and has better characteristics to function as a schmitt/comparator over a higher quality OpAmp, other options would be a LM358, 1458, TL022, all not great audio OpAmps but good for LFOs :)
