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
- 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.
- 8HP Eurorack format module
- 0.95” (24mm) maximum depth (includes power cable)
- 10-pin Eurorack power header
- Power consumption
- +12V: 83mA, -12V: 81mA
- Audio/VCA
- 100k input impedance, 1k output impedance, DC-coupled
- VCA gain range: -90dB to +0.9dB
- DC to 20kHz, +/-0.1dB
- VCA response to CV: exponential
- Envelope Times
- Minimum rise or fall time: ~50us (10kHz max frequency)
- Maximum rise or fall time: >10 minutes (typically 15-20 minutes per segment)
- Jacks:
- Env jack:
- when fall time > 11ms: Min = -5mV to +40mV, Max = +9.5V
- when fall time < 11ms: Min = -200mV to -5mV, Max = +9.5V
- Trigger jack: rising edge threshold = 2.5V
- 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
