Doepfer

I firstly thought that it could also depend by the gate or the envelope generator you’re using (if any), then I recall that some VCA are used not to close completely, finally I read that your VCA is mounted on a low cost case so I am afraid it might depend on the floating ground. I had similar issue and users here had helped me. That kind of case need to be grounded. But wait for further advice coming from other users. Best, dxx

It pairs with the A132-3 really well and is so compact and useful, especially for stereo signals and twin voices. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to save HP.
