The same approach is effective for enveloping an LFO, or dynamically modulating an LFO or envelope with key velocity, modwheel, key tracking, etc. One can even escape the highly colored Mini-flavord character of the AMP with this quad op-amp alternative for cleaner, sharper tonality in the near final stages of synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally set at unity gain (along with the MIX4), now units with a January 16 (2016) and greater marking will exceed unity and clip the op-amp, past 3:00 on the dial. Upshot: Fully clockwise the gain is doubled. Distortion of audio and modulation signals never hurt anyone, and add another tool to the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: In the audio realm clipping may occur sooner dependent up signal input level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTwo Pots\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLEVEL 1, LEVEL 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEight Patch Points\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCV 1, IN 1A, IN 1B, OUT 1; CV 2, IN 2A, IN 2B, OUT 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Controls and Patch Points\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLEVEL – Level\/Mix adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCV – Controlling CV modulation input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIN A – Controlled Input 1A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIN B – Controlled Input 1B.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOUT – Output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Usage - 5mA, 4mA (+12 \/ -12)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Studio Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47248079421577,"sku":"56793","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/8706\/5737\/files\/studio-electronics-vca2-1_82d874e1-52a3-44f4-9b50-321cfeb4b44e.jpg?v=1784046702","url":"https:\/\/vintage-king-staging.myshopify.com\/products\/studio-electronics-vca2","provider":"Vintage King Staging","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
