<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Douglas Self wrote pretty extensively about this in “Small Signal Audio Design” (very recommended), though mostly not voltage controlled.<div class="">If you want to really go down the rabbit hole, start with a goal of using just a pair of VCAs to do level and panning on a mixer channel. Then ask yourself if you want to use exponential or linear VCAs. Then let the games begin. Serge did us the service of designing this type of thing for both kinds of VCAs (in his case a discrete Blackmer cell and a CA3280), so his circuits are a good jumping off point. That Corp makes an evaluation board for their THAT2162, which is a bit like half of a 2164 (exponential), they have a circuit that allows you to adjust the pan curve.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I worked with Michael Zähl on the "CV channel” for the AM1 high end mixing board. Since everything is voltage controlled, it has a LOT of VCAs. He became so specific about the curve of not just the panning, but the level control that he ended up adding a transistor pair logging circuit in the control path of each VCA to tweak the curve. And each of those has to be trimmed.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Mark<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Dec 16, 2020, at 12:17 AM, Tom Wiltshire <<a href="mailto:tom@electricdruid.net" class="">tom@electricdruid.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">There’s a load of similar and useful circuits here, including dry/wet mixing:<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folders/panner.pdf" class="">http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folders/panner.pdf</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
