Frequently Asked Questions
It subtly boosts the output signal at higher resonance settings, preventing a significant volume drop which is especially useful for driving effects or keeping levels consistent.
Yes, you can route a signal directly into the VCA input and use it as a voltage-controlled amplifier, though you'll lose the filter functionality.
It's generally accurate for most Eurorack sequencing applications, but very precise keyboard tracking might require calibration or a dedicated tracking module for absolute perfection.
