Overview

Perspective

Discusses the module's vactrol nature, speed limitations, and suitability for specific sounds.

Getting Started

VCA and VCF Functionality

Explains simultaneous Amplitude and Frequency control, and transient response.

CV Processing and Envelope Generation

Details using CV for level-shifting, envelope generation, and signal summing.

Sidechain Compression

Describes using audio-rate signals for DAMP parameter to achieve gain reduction.

Tips and Tricks

Accent Sequencing

Using DAMP CV as an accent parameter for sequencing patches.

Dynamic FM Patch

Controlling FM Index with OPTOMIX for modulation bursts.

Palm-Mute Emulation

Using STRIKE and MATHS for a muted pluck effect.

Side-Chain Functionality

Using SIGNAL and DAMP inputs for sidechaining and ducking effects.

Patch Ideas

The New Bongo

Patching for two-operator FM synthesis with striking and dampening.

FM Pings

Creating FM pings by patching output to VCO FM input.
