Abstract Data ADE-50 3x VCA
3 Linear VCAs based on a discrete OTA core.
4 HP Eurorack module
A compact three-channel analogue VCA module. Each channel uses a 0–5V control-voltage input to set attenuation through unity gain.
Features
- Three all-analogue linear VCAs based on discrete OTA cores.
- DC-coupled signal paths handle audio, fixed DC voltages, LFOs, and envelope CV.
- Remember: allow about one minute for the discrete VCA cores to settle to optimum gain and offset after power-up.
Controls & Jacks (9)
- CV Input 1— 0–5V control-voltage input for VCA 1; 0V attenuates fully and 5V gives unity gain.
- Output 1— DC-coupled, voltage-controlled output of VCA 1.
- Signal Input 1— DC-coupled signal input for VCA 1; accepts audio, fixed DC voltages, LFOs, and envelope CV.
- CV Input 2— 0–5V control-voltage input for VCA 2; 0V attenuates fully and 5V gives unity gain.
- Output 2— DC-coupled, voltage-controlled output of VCA 2.
- CV Input 3— 0–5V control-voltage input for VCA 3; 0V attenuates fully and 5V gives unity gain.
- Signal Input 3— DC-coupled signal input for VCA 3; accepts audio, fixed DC voltages, LFOs, and envelope CV.
- Signal Input 2— DC-coupled signal input for VCA 2; accepts audio, fixed DC voltages, LFOs, and envelope CV.
- Output 3— DC-coupled, voltage-controlled output of VCA 3.
