VCAs?

VCAs?

2002-01-18 by Les Mizzell

I find that I'm need a large number of VCAs for various stuff.  Problem is,
I don't need a double width module with a Ring Mod attached for every VCA I
need...what do you do with 6 ring modulators?

Anybody else got a slight problem with this?

Is there a chance of a future "VCA" module, say, a "Quad VCA" module or
something so I don't have to acquire unnecessary components?

Just wondering?

There is in fact a simpler VCA due: the 130, which is apparently a dual
VCA.  Dunno when exactly, though.

Me too.
Paul has a Dual VCA in the works (MOTM-130) but I don't know when it's coming out.
It was announced last summer as the next module to be released, but apparently that has changed. I'm sure Paul will let us know where it sits when he gets back from NAMM.

The MOTM-130 is not a simpler VCA. It is a higher end dual VCA, with 
exponential as well as linear control inputs. It will become the 
premium MOTM VCA for use in audio patches.

If you need large numbers of simple VCAs for control purposes, you 
could maybe look into the Oakley VCA pcbs. You could fit 3 onto a 2U 
panel.

Sorry, by simpler I meant "sans ring mod.".  :)

I'm working on a quad VCA/Mixer. The topology so far is a 3X VCA with
mix pots and a common output. A fourth VCA is "normalled" into the 3X
out but can be used separately. The four CV inputs are normalled to the
first VCA CV in but can be used separately by plugging into the CV
jack(s).

There are a lot of ways to rig up VCAs but this seemed quite useful.

Any thoughts?

We may be able to convice the stooges to do a panel for this.....but I'm
not in control.

Paul has a uVCA coming out as well. I'm not sure of the model number but at NAMM he told me it would be a 1u panel with 2 VCA's in it. Mainly for use with the Micromodular racks the new branch of modules will use, but great for polyphony. The last I heard the dual VCA will be the next 2-space module released. It requires an insane board layout due to the amount of components and the noise requirements of a quality VCA. Paul has the info but the time to design, fab and ship it has yet to come. The micro series will be a great move for Paul because it will take less time to design, kit and assemble (for non-solderers). This should free up time to put together and design the more intense modules like the Dual VCA, VC Phaser, 500 series and Dual Peak Ladder Filter. As it has been proven through time, the good things are worth waiting for. Remember how excited we were about the ladder VCF and it made it out to much happy guys such as you and I. Please hold on, NAMM has inspired my MOTM dreams BIG TIME! Everybody will get what they want by the end of 2002 I think and there is even top secret stuff going on Paul will have to kill me if I talk about ;)

Whoops, I meant 440 VCF, not ladder. We are still hungry for the ladder and I know from personal experience that it is worth the wait.
