Manhattan Analog MA35
VCF/VCA based on the Korg MS-10
12 HP Eurorack module
An internally coupled, Korg MS-10-derived VCF and VCA with a two-channel input mixer.
Features
- Discrete-transistor implementation of the Korg-35 filter architecture.
- Built-in two-channel audio input mixer.
- Input levels overdrive past approximately 12 o'clock; lower settings are smoother and higher settings are more distorted.
- Remember: the module is protected from reverse power connection, and the PCB marks ribbon-cable orientation below the power header.
Controls & Jacks (16)
- Cutoff— Sets the filter cutoff frequency.
- Output— Audio output from the internally coupled filter and VCA.
- Mod— Sets the amount of VCA modulation.
- Mode Input— CV input that switches the filter between low-pass and high-pass modes.
- In 1— Sets the level of the first audio input in the built-in mixer.
- In 2 Input— Second audio input to the built-in two-channel mixer.
- Mod Input— Control-voltage input for VCA modulation.
- In 2— Sets the level of the second audio input in the built-in mixer.
- In 1 Input— First audio input to the built-in two-channel mixer.
- Gain— Sets the VCA gain.
- CV 2 Input— Additional control-voltage input for filter cutoff, governed by the CV 2 attenuator.
- CV 1 Input— Control-voltage input for the filter cutoff frequency.
- Peak— Sets the filter peak/resonance.
- Gain Input— Control-voltage input for VCA gain.
- CV 2— Attenuates the CV 2 control-voltage input to the filter cutoff.
- Mode— Manually selects low-pass or high-pass filter operation; this selection can also be controlled by the Mode Input.
