Re: [Doepfer_a100] Re: From a newbie : what VCA ?

2006-03-02 by Bakis Sirros

hello ingo2,
major confusion has occured (for me at least)...
you actually making the comparison between a LIN vca
and an EXP vca, am i right?
NOT LOG and EXP, as you mention in your last message.
normaly, EXP vca's are used for audio and LIN vca's
for cv, but not always.
and, i assume that, you mean that LIN vca's have more
punch and that's why some people prefer them for audio
to EXP vca's. is that right?
best regards,
bakis.
