This is the first part of this video tutorial series. In the series we explore the VCAs many uses and the many different types of VCAs you can find.
In this first episode we look at the Intellijel uVCA and talk about BIAS settings, linear vs exponential VCAs and explore a few basic uses for the VCA.

One of the best videos I have seen on this topic. Explained in clear and simple terms, while also sharing some useful production techniques. A+

wow, that was cool. I've got that vca quite for a while, but to be honest, I never touched the bias or shape knob. it was always on 0 bias and linear. I've just realised what I missed and how powerful that vca actually is. thanks man

Im torn between the Moddemix and the uVCA. Im looking for a VCA and I like what the moddemix has to offer because it has a couple features.

Sorry about the dumb question but I don't really seem to get the point of polarizing the ENV Negative in order to duck the other sound When wouldn't a Positive charged ENV affect it the same way? Like what's exactly the purpose in polarizing sounds in modular Kind of confused here :/

Ahhh, so a VCA effects the tone similarly to an envelope generator. I have always thought of the VCA as like the volume knob but now I understand it is an important part of the cv chain.

hey man....trying out your demo on my uvcii....mine sounds like shit. WAY blown out and distorted. using shapeshifter for a sine wav and atlantis for the ENV. ive also noticed that my layout is different from yours. the BIAS and CV kbobs are swapped and the CV LEDs are above the large knob [your CV knob on your vcaii] wondering if i got a knock-off version. cuz it REALLY does not sound good. the output is SO loud vs the Pitts DUALVCAs that i have. oh also...as i turn it towards exponential it gets quieter :/ if you have any input....please lemme know.
@frankmurder6761
@frankmurder6761 7 лет назад
hmm can you shoot a video of it? I know some of the new ones have a different layout but they should sound the same.

Hi there, i'm new to these things.. any thoughts about the roland system1m and 4 aira efx modules (particularly the SCOOPER 10 sec. looper/scatter effect, too limited?)..? Should i keep or ditch for something else in your opinion.. thx.
@frankmurder6761
@frankmurder6761 7 лет назад
Sorry, no idea. It all depends on what you are trying to do. I actualy have no experience with the modules you are talking about.
@Kupka2408
@Kupka2408 7 лет назад
Don't go Roland, especially not when it comes to modular.... You will definitley find better stuff than that.
@contumancia
@contumancia 8 лет назад
thanks for the vid man! in the second vca input you are putting your inverted env 2. but that is not your kickdrum sound right? so you are not putting the sound of your kickdrum into the bass no? is just a simulation.. or? thanks again : )
@frankmurder6761
@frankmurder6761 7 лет назад
Sorry for the late reply... What is happening is that the same trigger that triggers the kick drum triggers the inverted envelople... so each timme the kick hits the volume of the bass goes down, it is a techniqe known as "ducking" as the bass kind of ducks out of the kicks way :D

A suggestion: @1:14 you say you send a triangle wave into the VCA. Though it's a sine. Maybe you could add a note to correct, so there's no confusion.
@frankmurder6761
@frankmurder6761 8 лет назад
+batchas Thank you for pointing that out. You are right. I felt it was pretty obvious, so I let it slide. But now it is here :D

Question: if I have 3xoscillators, 2xLFO and 8 synth voices, how many VCAs and EG would I need and what type of VCAs and EG would I need and why?

I dont realy get what you are saying
@maedaeburning
@maedaeburning 6 лет назад
This is a year old so I'm not sure why I'm replying, but the problem with that is that say you mix all of your audio into one signal and then send it through a vca- sure that's great for basic stuff, but to really get at the heart of complicated textures a) you may need different audio sources to have different volumes at different times b) VCAs on control voltages play a huge role in more complicated patches as well. VCAs are love, VCAs are life.
@maedaeburning
@maedaeburning 6 лет назад
Not to mention different VCAs can have different tones and harmonic saturation.

@dorincroitoru5913
@dorincroitoru5913 8 лет назад
almost got me confused here.... seems that on newer editions of UVCA II the bias and CV knobs are inverted! I wonder why they decided to do this
@frankmurder6761
@frankmurder6761 8 лет назад
+Dorin Croitoru So the idea is that some people use VCAs for mixing purposes and use the bias knob more then the cv attenuator, So Intellijel are offering a version with the big knob for BIAS and not CV attenuation. I will look at the Linix in a later video and will show you what that is about there.
@dorincroitoru5913

if you have an older version you can just change the position of the knob : )
