VCFA
Multimode VCF with
LP,HP and BP outputs and integrated VCA
Introduction
The CubuSynth VCFA is a multimode VCF with LP,HP and BP modes with integrated
VCA, CV control over Frequency, Resonance and Volume. The CV input for the
Frequency features 1V/Oct scaling over about 2~3 octaves. So you can even
create plucky melodies with the resonance in “ringing” mode.
The Gain control can reach a nice, soft saturation.
Specifications
- Size: 10HP / 50mm
- Depth: 34mm (measured from the front panel)
- Current Draw:
+12V: +14mA
-12V: -14mA
Key features
