Serge VCA Comparison

Published on May 19, 2013 pjoris2·36 videos

I'm hearing the right continue to rise with headphones, so I'm guessing the following is reverse?

"Comparison of the VCAs in the Serge X-Fader (on the Creature) and the VCA/Comp (on the Mayhem). Sounds of the two VCA are panned hard left (your left when you sit facing the speakers: X-Fader) and hard right (your right when you sit facing the speakers: VCA/Comp) -- I think, unless I wired my speakers the wrong way around ... Anyway you should be able to hear it, the VCA/Comp is bit smoother/slower. It can't keep up with the audio-rate AM (reaches a max. tone while the X-Fader can still rise). Well there you are: they are different. I guess the one in the VCA/Comp is more geared towards CVs, the one in the X-fader for audio.

I am noticing when looking at the scope I'm overdriving the VCA/Comp ! I'll try to do without this tomorrow or so ... Can you actually overdrive the X-Fader ? maybe another difference ?"
