Synthrotek VCA triple response Dual VCA
The Synthrotek Triple Response Dual VCA uses high quality op amps to give you the sound quality you are looking for in affordable kits and completed units. This VCA has three different response curves per channel: 2 Exponential and 1 Linear. The amplitude of EX2 (switch at right position) can be slightly attenuated via 1 trimmer pot per channel on the PCB. This allows for 3 different curves per channel. EX2 has a slightly more exponential curve than EX1. This VCA operates at 0-5V; a 5V CV input will give you 5V point to point audio output. Use over 5V if you want a super ballsy, loud VCA!
Intended for AC and audio use only (DC coupling will not function properly).
Features include:
– ~5V peak to peak output with a +5 DC CV input
– 2 exponential and 1 linear response per channel
– Channel 2 is normalled to channel 1
– Compact 4HP sized module
– Kits, complete and PCB/panel combos
– High Quality Op Amps
– Module depth: 1 7/8 inches (4.7 cm)
– Max current draw: 1mA on -12V rail, 9mA on +12V rail

Here is the live build event where I build the resistor section of the VCA and hold a Q&A during it. It is a quite long video as it was held off the cuff, very laid back.

Arturia Beatstep Unlocks the Hidden Sub37 in the Moog Sub Phatty
The Arturia BeatStep is a wonderful little midi controller and Sequencer.
When I first purchased it I had the intentions of using it as both a nice little sequencer for my analog synths and other gear. I also had considered using it as a dedicated controller for my Moog Sub Phatty. Why you ask? Well the Sub Phatty has a plethora of hidden features that must be reached by complicated button presses from the from panel or a VST editor. With the Arturia BeatStep I am able to control all of those functions with direct hands on control just as you can on the Moog Sub37. In recent videos I have seen people wowed by the Sub37’s wonderful looping envelopes. I often here people wishing for those envelopes on their Sub Phatty… little do they know they already have them! yes thats right the Sub Phatty has those same envelopes just hidden!
I spent some time looking into the Moog Sub Phatty Manual and found all of the Hidden Function MIDI CC#’s and then mapped them directly to a template on the Arturia BeatStep… you can download it here —> Beatstep Template for Sub Phatty Hidden Controls

How to Scratch like a DJ on Maschine
This set up will allow you to closely emulate the actions of a turntable and crossfader.
steps –
1) get a scratch sample duplicate to 4 pads in a square
2) set poly to 1 for all pads in the group
3) reverse the 2nd pad and the 3rd pad
4) Set the start point for the reversed pads to that you get a quicker start
5) select all pads
6) set choke group for pads
now you can (with all pads selected) adjust the tune and all the pads tunings will adjust together
this will allow you to emulate scratching forward and reverse like a turntable. Enable auto write to record your pattern
