This is the version II of the original µVCA.
Features:
- Continuously adjustable curve response (from linear to exponential)
- Gain trimmer (it is possible to get positive gain)
- Dedicated CV attenuators
- Leds for monitoring CV signal
This module was adapted from a design by David G. Dixon
Note that prior to fall 2015 the BIAS and CV knob positions were reversed but their functionality was the same.
Controls
-
CV A
Sets the amount of attenuation for the CV A input. When fully clockwise the CV input is unattenuated. When fully counter-clockwise the CV input has no effect. The brightness of the LED to the right of the attenuator varies according to the level of the resulting CV.
-
BIAS A
Sets the initial level of amplifier A before CV is applied. The maximum bias is 5V which provides a gain of 1.
-
EXP-LIN A
Sets the response curve of amplifier A. Linear when fully counter-clockwise and exponential when fully clockwise.
-
CV B
Same as CV A but for channel B.
-
BIAS B
Same as BIAS A but for channel B.
-
EXP-LIN B
Same as EXP-LIN A but for channel B.
Inputs & Outputs
-
CV A
Control voltage input for the level of amplifier A. Summed with the BIAS A control. Voltages above 5 V will result in a gain greater than 1.
-
IN A
Input signal for amplifier A. This is a direct coupled input so DC or AC signals can be fed here.
-
OUT A
Output signal for amplifier A.
-
CV B
Control voltage input for the level of amplifier B. Summer with the BIAS B control. Voltages above 5 V will result in a gain greater than 1.
-
IN B
Input signal for amplifier B. This is a direct coupled input so DC or AC signals can be fed here.
-
OUT B
Output signal for amplifier B. As of the fall 2015 model OUT A is normalled to be mixed into this output as long as nothing is patched in OUT A. This means you can use the module as a simple two channel mixer.
