More of what you need with less of what you don't

Zoë 02.06.2013

As far as I'm concerned, this should be the "default" VCA module for the Doepfer. As there are two VCAs in this single module, you can use them in serial, so one of them can be controlled by the ADSR, and the other by (for instance) the note velocity. You can't do this with the regular A-131 as its CV inputs are in effect added together, whereas this in effect multiplies them. So even though the tradeoff is that it's less featureful in order to have two VCAs in one module, in practice, I find it to be a more useful result.

Of course, you can instead use them independently, so patches which don't require velocity sensitivity can use that second VCA in other interesting ways, whether it's attenuating a control voltage in linear mode or an audio signal in exponential mode.

If you only find yourself using half of your A-131's features, yet needing a second, I'd recommend doing what I did: sell it and buy this instead.

Super handy and space-saving design

Arcadia 28.06.2021

This is great having 2 independent VCAs in such a small module. I run a couple filters from my small modular into it. Works well with a snappy envelope but as others have said it does tend to distort quite easily so you need to back off the levels. Not sure why Doepfer designed it this way.
