These are my build notes for the Function Generator of LZX Industries. It's a nice easy build. The kit is only $99 (including components).
The FG is a non-linear amplifier that produces an output which is an arbitrary function of the input signal.
It's great for solarization & waveshaping.
The input signal is split into three regions - Light, Mids, and Dark. These outputs can be amplified or inverted. This module was adapted from one built in the 1970's by Dan Sandin at the University of Illinois at Chicago
His Sandin Image Processor is a classic.
ETC (The Experimental Television Center) has a wealth of info about this synthesizer.

Muffs also has lots on this module.
And LZX's build notes and schematics are here:
