"VCA/Levels" is part of the of planet.6modularsystems/:Level^Contour bundle
The VCA/Levels module is based on the architecture of the Voltage Modular amplifier, however it's a dual vca/amplifier aimed to process stereo/duo channels. Next to that the VCA/Levels module can invert the input channel when a gate signal is received. This can result in rhythmic effects when using VCA/Levels to attenuate cv signals.
Signal routing: input signal x inverter + ((gain + cv) x cv attenuation) = output signal
(!) Only cv signals in the range: 0 - 10v are passed through to the gain. When the sum of cv modulation is below 0, no modulation is applied.
The controls and their functions: from top to bottom:
- Green & Blue knob: These are the gain knobs which add 0 to 5 volts to the cv modulation signal.
- Attenuator knobs: The attenuators set the intensity of cv modulation of the gain-jack.
- Gain jack: This jack is the cv signal for attenuation of the gain.
- Invert led: This led lights up as soon as a gate signal is received and the in-signal is inverted.
- Invert jack: This jack is used to receive the gate signal for inverting the in-signal.
- In 1 & 2: These jacks are used for the incoming signal which can be audio or cv signals.
- Out 1 & 2: The positive output of the in-signal after gain modulation.
- Out 1 & 2: The negative output of the in-signal after gain modulation.
