|
||
Quad VCA module, original design taken from Ray Wilson from [MFOS](https://musicfromouterspace.com/index.php?MAINTAB=SYNTHDIY&VPW=1697&VPH=669) | ||
|
||
Possibility to have log and linear response for each VCA via a toggle switch. | ||
|
||
CV inputs are normalled for channel 1-2 and channel 3-4, to have a stereo VCA with one CV signal. | ||
|
||
All outputs are normalled to one another, to use the VCA as an active audio mixer. | ||
|
||

## Build Informations | ||
|
||
Uses an SMD LM13700 because the DIP ones are not produced anymore (and expensive). | ||
|
||
Regular build, I use ceramic capacitors but you can use film/polyester. | ||
|
||
Polyester capacitor for the saw core. | ||
|
||
:warning: When building modules, always do it in this order (from smallest component to highest): | ||
- diodes | ||
- resistors | ||
- DIP chips | ||
- capacitors (film/ceramic) | ||
- Transistors | ||
- Electrolytic capacitors | ||
|
||
To solder the headers, place them and place both PCBs in their final position before fully soldering the pin headers/sockets. | ||
|
||
For the next parts, always place them without soldering them on: | ||
- jacks, pots and switches that go throught the front panel | ||
|
||
Once placed, put the front panel in place, then fasten all components to it. Once this is done, you can solder all the remaining components. | ||
