Buchla VS. Wiard

2001-10-11 by mark verbos

Hi,

In a previous post, Grant casually mentioned that the control voltage
section in the Borg is exponential and the Buchla lopass gate is linear.
I don't really understand. I thought that the exponential behavior came
from the Vactrol itself. Is that why the Buchla has that Zener? So there
is a break point in a linear curve? So the transistor method like the
Korg MS-20 VCA is more of a true "curve".

I always wondered what the difference was between these two. And the
different ones that Don used.
