VCA
The voltage control amplifier (VCA) is an overlooked aspect of the SH-01A. The compact settings make it seem like
perhaps it isn’t a full fledged VCA and without the ability to switch between linear and exponential, or the lack of level
controls or input access to patch the VCA to different places on the synth that’s it’s not a proper VCA. This is not
necessarily true. The basic switch between triggering the output from a simple gate or the envelope is a dramatic
option both for the fine tuning of a sound, as well as a live performance technique.
VCA CONTROLS
[ENV / GATE] SWITCH ENV - The note is sounded according to the envelope
GATE - The note is sounded at a fixed volume only while the
key is held down
EXPERIMENT: There is actually a VCA experiment for you, but it isn’t here. It’s in the next section on the ENV.
