* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Control Path is a really handy little module for anyone just getting into Eurorack or needing a simple, reliable VCA and envelope pair. It’s fantastic for creating basic sequences, drones, or adding subtle dynamic shaping to existing sounds—especially good for ambient and experimental electronic music. The velocity CV input is a neat touch for injecting some organic feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
The velocity input modulates the envelope’s attack time, allowing for more expressive and dynamic sound shaping based on input signal strength.
It's a linear VCA, which is generally preferred for predictable gain reduction and avoids unwanted frequency alterations.
Absolutely, it’s a perfectly functional VCA for basic volume control and simple amplitude modulation.
