Re: From a newbie : what VCA ?

2006-03-01 by ilanode

Hello Olix,
For basic VCO - VCF - VCA (the latter controlled by an EG) patches you 
won't miss the gain controll.
The gain comes in handy to check what's at the input; to off set the 
negative voltages e.g. from an LFO at one of the CV-ins; and possibly 
for other reasons I can't think of bcs it's too late...
There should be no diff. output levels btn the A130 and A134, since a 
VCAmplifier usually does not amplify but attentuates i.e. max. output 
should equal the input. However, any diff will be minor and of little 
relevance for the typical VCA applications.
Anyhow, the A134 is for audio only while the A130 can handle both 
audio and CV. Regards, Ingo
