      Description

      The EnvVCA is a compact analog envelope generator with a built-in low-noise exponential VCA. It's a perfect companion to any VCO, whether you trigger it or self-cycle, and/or use the envelope output to modulate something else. With a wide time range from 30 minutes to 10kHz, it can be used as an LFO, slew limiter, audio or CV VCA, ASR/ADSR envelope generator, audio-rate oscillator, and more.

      100% analog

      EnvVCA features:
      • Versatile linear envelope generator/LFO
      • Low-noise, low-distortion, DC-coupled exponential VCA
      • 100% analog
      • Sliders, switches and Time CV jack controls Rise and Fall times from 100µs (10kHz) to over 30 minutes
      • With sliders and switches only: ~1.25ms to over 2 minutes
      • Independent attenuverters for Rise and Fall time
      • Blue/red LEDs indicate strength and polarity
      • Cycle button for looping envelopes (LFO)
      • Trigger input jack fires a one-shot envelope
      • Cycle gate input jack toggles cycling
      • EOR (End of Rise) gate output can be used to chain and sequence events
      • Env Level slider controls output level of the Env jack without changing the VCA volume
      • Audio In and Out jacks for passing audio or CV through the VCA
      • VCA gain internally connected to envelope output
      • Follow input jack allows for slew limiting, sustain (ASR), and exotic filtering effects
      • Re-trig jumper allows for re-triggering during rise phase

      The EnvVCA is essentially half of a Dual EnvVCA, without the VCA CV jack and Offset knob.

        • Cycle jack: rising edge threshold = 2.5V
        • Follow jack: active range = 0V to +5V
        • EOR jack: 0V to 5V gate output
        • Audio In/Out jacks: -10V to +10V maximum range without clipping
