I have a toy keyboard that I want to run into a lm339 comparator to turn the signal into a square wave.
I tried it and it didn't really work. You could hear some resemblance of a square wave but It was pretty quiet.
My question is...
Is this even possible?
Should I do something else to the 339 to get a better output?
Does it hurt the lm339 to just run the keyboard out into it?
My end goal is to create an octave down by running the comparator output through some frequency division.
Is that even possible?
Thanks!
