INITIAL (Initial gain)

Adjusts the VCA’s initial gain (the gain when there is no
control voltage at all).

* If you want the VCA to operate only using a control

voltage, be sure to set initial gain pot at 0 (Linear) or
around 1 (Exponential) according to the setting of LIN/
EXP control mode.

Indicators

These indicate the state of the output signal (load: green,
overload: red).

LIN/EXP control mode

Species whether the control voltage and setting of
the INITIAL knob aects the audio signal linearly or
exponentially.

SIG IN level control

These sliders adjust the level of the signals that are input
from the SIG IN jacks.

OUT

These are output jacks. These jacks output the signal
from each VCA.

SUM

These jacks output a signal that sums the two VCA
outputs.

Attenuator for CV input 1/ 2/ 3.

These sliders adjust the level of the voltage that is input
from the MOD IN 1/2/3 jacks.

MOD IN 1/2/3

These jacks input voltages that control the VCA.
