Product information "Analogue Systems RS-180N VCA"
Classic, high quality VCA module with logarithmic and linear control inputs. This way the module is suitable to control audio signals as well as CVs.
Thanks to a new front panel and bus concept, this version of the RS-180 is fully compatible to Doepfer-style Eurorack systems.
With the "initial level" control you can open the VCA manually which is handy if the modulation signal is bipolar: e.g. when doing a tremolo with a sine wave LFO. Two CV inputs with attenuators are available: The linear one is better when you want to control CV signals or if the modulation signal is a slow LFO. The logarithmic input is more akin to human hearing and recommended when you want to control audio signals and a "natural" response from the envelope.
Two signal inputs make an mixer module obsolete in many cases.
Starting almost in parallel with Doepfer, Bob Williams established back in 1998 his own modular system with fine circuits reminiscent of the British tradition initiated with EMS in the 1970s. Despite offering initially a different power connector and panel width standard (which left a 1,5HP gap), all modules bearing the "N" on their names are adapted to work seamlessly with most eurorack cases. Still, it is worth checking the depth of your case.
