Great review! Nice distortion trick!

[@phil85813]

some nice ideas here!

[@CoreyLaGray]

That was sweet!

[@station2station544]

Thank you for using nylon washers!

[@jsogman]

love this, excited to get my Quad relatively soon but I want to say your examples here are superb esp starting at 5:48... cant wait to try stuff like this!!!!

[@samirabiamodular6212]

Thank you!

[@StingrayOfficial]

I know they are already available on the site, but I pre-ordered mine form a retail shop as well as the Plonk!

great module, has the functions of three to four different modules all in one. My next module for sure

[@samirabiamodular6212]

Excellent for the money, and the linear/exp control adds the perfect amount of flexibility for me.

[@ekoboydj]

I also own the same module but I find hard to use it as a classic vca/enveople and at the same time route in the rest CV other mods. For example if I send on the second cv an LFO u can hear the effect in the overall sound but when the key is unpressed the LFO continues to cycle where I would want to it stop like my envelopes. Am I doing something wrong?

[@theinternetseekers2436]

I know you stacked the vcas here to distort but my Quad VCA distorts things without stacking, even if i just use a sine wave and i turn the CV up full with any level at all i get a nice distortion is this because its playing the sound twice one coming from the CV and again from any level i add?, this is normal right? Does this happen with all VCA's as the Quad is my first? I get some awesome sounds with it so glad i chose that one tbh!

[@samirabiamodular6212]

Yes you're right, you can just use one VCA and crank the CV up and it will distort, but I didn't realize that at first. But I did notice that If you stack 2 VCA's the distortion is a bit more complex and brighter.

[@theinternetseekers2436]

I'll defo have to try that out! Thanks for the tips i bookmarked your video some great stuff i'll try out when its not 4am xD

[@theinternetseekers2436]

Yeah i'm adding two more VCA's and it gives a much brighter distortion wow its really nice love this Quad VCA really its the most amazing things when people kept saying "can never have enough vcas" i was like that really means " don't not have enough" but now i starting to know what they mean by "you can never have enough" lmao. For anyone looking for a great VCA the Quad VCA by intellijel really is the business! One more thing i found is that if you add the two vca's and then play with the at about 3/4 and the level about 1/4 roughly and give it some linear you can get the distortion to kind of follow the envelope a little bit so it changes intesity its a very very cool effect!!!!

[@sasarasa88]

great video. Can I ask to demo the E440 next? I have not found a good video covering it.

[@samirabiamodular6212]

Yes, it's going to be the next video I do

[@samirabiamodular6212]

by the way, is there anything specific you want to see regarding the E440?

[@sasarasa88]

well, I would like to know if it can actually sound similar to a Prophet 5. I would actually like to hear it in the context of a traditional synth patch (2 oscs --> mixer --> filter --> VCA )

[@samirabiamodular6212]

Gotya. It's definitely got a traditional synth/prophet vibe. Like as soon as I started using it that's the kind of structure I thought it would excel at.

[@thorpet6235]

Intellijel Quad VCA vs MI Veils??? What do you think? Like the Intellijel more but Veils is cheaper and has same features... Hard choice. What about sound quality?

[@britox.6216]

Thorsten Peters have been looking for a video on this for a. Long while now. Still haven't found anything :/

[@pieterkok7486]

Veils doesn't have an offset (i.e., mix level) or boost.

[@djnosleeves85]

Hey where can i get that maths2 faceplate looks awesome

[@AiynZahevSounds]

djnosleeves85 they are made by grayscale

[@saren6538]

hi what track is that at 5.15 ? thanks

[@taylorsakarett2014]

Are you amplifying your line level audio signal here prior to the VCA?

[@samirabiamodular6212]

It's coming out my DAW at a high level, but not enough to clip.

[@jsogman]

ummm came here for quad vca but.... maths/\2!? is this just a redesign or does it include new functionality?

[@samirabiamodular6212]

Maths2 is such a great module, mine has a panel made by a company called grayscale, so it looks a little different from stock.
