Quick Tips : VCAs Aren't Just for Volume !! Part 1 : Wobble Control

[@vertigev]

That transition at 3:07 was next level

[@brokenscart7989]

You have a nice manner. I think my mum would like you. Also the video is very helpful and gave some inspiration.

[@jonbrouwer4300]

The last sentence made me audibly guffaw. Stupendous

[@tusk1_]

You make great demo videos

[@JacobShulkinYashkakakashka]

Shoutout to the club matê behind u, cheers!

[@bjamiork]

Thank you so much for the videos you put out, seriously :)

[@attichatchsound-bobkowal5328]

Alternatives to using VCAs in this demo: First 2 examples could be done with a simple mixer. The next patch can be done with a mixer into a Doepfer A151 4:1 switch .

called mom like you suggested. she says to say hi.

hi moms out there !

[@soundslikefriends]

your videos are great! thanks!

[@composerjohn]

Great video! What patch cable holder/stand are you using? It's not in the gear link you provided. Thank you!

[@brentwadden_]

Buying that granat Club-Mate was probably a mistake. I'm curious how long its been sitting there?

[@illest4realest521]

Is that a bottle of hot sauce behind you 😂

thats the YERB yoooo! (yerba mate)

who made that lovely panel in the upper right corner? excellent video btw

[@PerfectCircuit]

It's by Materia, we sell them on the site!

Love the videos, keep em coming! That case looks super cool. Any idea who makes it?

Hey did you guys ever continue this series of videos?

[@christoroppolo8742]

This is really cool of you guys to keep trying to make modular easier to navigate. But I still keep thinking there has got to be an easier way to do this ! Even when I want to understand it completely but my brain says fuck this shit. So I try again and my brain says why is this so important? Is there an answer to why we complicate everything we do ? I’m still way on the fence with modular and VCA patching ( which still causes headaches to this day every time I patch from scratch) and use an envelope generator . Voltages never spoke to me the way exploring a normalized synth does because the limitations aren’t really considered when we are being purely inspired by a synths CHARACTER / limits. That causes breakthroughs which are very important to synth players that are more compositionally driven . And this gentleman should be commended for trying to get us to understand the process.I know it must frustrate the modular community that everyone isn’t just so excited about modular but I think a real breakthrough in modular is coming that will solve this someday. Food for thought.👽

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Think of a VCA as a faucet controlling the signal going through it. If you want to open it by hand you can turn the tap open or closed or somewhere in between. Normalized synths have these sprinkled throughout the design, you just don't see them but anything with an amount knob is probably going to be a VCA.

[@PerfectCircuit]

it's definitely a kooky concept to wrap your head around, but Marc here is on point, VCAs mostly control how much of any given voltage is allowed through them. The best way to gain an understanding on working them into your patching is probably to play around, experimenting leads to discovery!

[@christoroppolo8742]

@@PerfectCircuit true . Today I’ll get out the Modulor 114 and try to make the VCAs do something interesting as a homage to all your efforts . Please don’t forget to notify me when the PERKONS drum synth is ready to be purchased! That and the Norand mono are my next purchases 👽

[@christoroppolo8742]

@@russ254 excellent explanations! 👽

[@thunderkitty6935]

So how is the Dixie synced from the PNW and Muxlicer? If someone could explain how its patched it would be much appreciated :)

[@PerfectCircuit]

The dixie is just receiving a gate to reset the phase from pams, and the muxslicer is just sequencing the frequency!

[@thunderkitty6935]

@@PerfectCircuit Thanks! And thanks for these vids, they´re great :)

[@collectionofsensations]

Nice videos! Does linear VCAs work good with both CV modulation and level control of audio signals envelopes? Is it correct that you use exponential envelopes through linear VCAs when controling the level of audio signals?
