I have been looking for something different in my Studio to generate Sci-Fi Noise to go along with my NanoSynth NS1 & Kastle Bastl since they share the same type of Patching Cables. So far i really like this 4060 MK2. It's a Must have for every Studio. I posted my 1st Video on YT. I hope you like.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asB-zqcMWAc
Hi...it is preffered to use the given components because they are precise and defect free. From outside components there is the chances for defects.
Thanks.
Actually quite the contrary rochmesa! You can use pretty much any component, since both versions of the 4060 are kind of protected: there is a series resistor in the power supply, that limits the current, so that you practically can not "burn" your 4060. If the device stops working however, you can replace the chip by opening the enclosure (knobs and nuts have to be removed too). The chip is called CD4060 and can be obtained from almost any electronic component retailer.
Please note that you can harm the connected components, though. So you should not stick the most precious and fragile parts there.
