The Shaped Dual EnvVCA is a powerhouse for sound design. It’s perfect for experimental electronic musicians or anyone needing incredibly precise and sculpted envelope control – especially those wanting to modulate envelope curves in real-time. The dual channels really let you create complex rhythmic and textural patterns.

Product Description

  • 4ms Shaped Dual EnvVCA
  • Eurorack Module
  • Two-channel function generator with VCA
  • Per channel: AD envelope with fader for rise and fall times (each with three selectable time ranges)
  • Level and offset controls for envelope output (range: -10 V to +10 V)
  • Shape fader with CV input for setting the envelope curve (exponential
  • linear
  • logarithmic)
  • Selectable AD/ASR/loop mode
  • Trigger input
  • signal input and cycle button
  • CV input for controlling the envelope times with adjustable intensity for rise and fall
  • VCA audio input and output
  • Envelope output is normalised to VCA CV input
  • End of Rise and End of Fall trigger outputs
  • Envelope signal outputs (after waveshaping/offset and linear with +5 V) and OR logic output
  • Power consumption: 255 mA (+12 V) / 230 mA (-12
  • Width: 20 U
  • Depth: 24 mm
PROS
  • • Exceptional shaping flexibility with the curve fader and CV input.
  • • Dual-channel design dramatically expands patching possibilities.
  • • The AD/ASR/Loop modes offer diverse envelope generation.
  • • Robust build quality consistent with 4ms's reputation.
CONS
  • • The complex interface can be initially daunting for beginners.
  • • Power draw is relatively high, impacting Eurorack PSU capacity.
  • • Normalization, while convenient, limits some routing options.
