"DISCLAMER : i have no affiliation with gotharman's instrument , just a third party builder

Quick sound demo of the Vactrol phaser filterboard, compatible with Gotharman's instrument, im working on. Still have some small things to do on the next proto, like rewire the Qbend switch.
If you have any question or sugestion feel free to ask.

AD ENVELOPE + VCA WITH A BITE | ADDAC System - ADDAC816 Percussion VCA


video upload by DANIELE

"The ADDAC816 Percussion VCA by ADDAC System is a voltage controlled amplifier featuring an integrated AD envelope with a fast attack and adjustable decay, perfect for creating precise and dynamic percussive sounds!"

0:00 Intro
0:24 Envelope gain
1:08 Decay knob and time switch
2:05 Envelope input behavior
2:33 VCA input
2:46 Patch 1
4:02 Patch 2
5:05 Patch 3



"While deep in its soul there’s a standard VCA with exponential response that can be used as such, in its heart pulses an AD envelope with a sharp attack and a variable decay internally connected to the VCA control input. When it opens its mouth it can whisper in your ear but don’t let this soft demeanor fool you, if driven to the extreme it will show its teeth and gnarly bite and chew on your cochleas with all its might.

The AD envelope has a fixed short Attack, just enough to avoid the typical “click” that happens when using a Gate signal to control a VCA, while the envelope Decay can be controlled via its knob or voltage controlled using the CV input and attenuverter.

We named it Percussion VCA as most percussion intruments have sharp attacks with variable decays just as its AD Envelope however it can be used for any purpose where a VCA is needed including for CV signals due to it’s DC coupled signal path.

Furthermore it also allows to be driven from a simple Gate signal while controlling its decay. This way it’s easy to plug a noise source, vco or any audio and turn that source into a percussive element."

Pics of the inside below.

"This is an ultra rare analogue mono synth, based on a design in Practical Electronics June and July 1982. This synth does not work, it does make some sound/noises, but definitely needs fixing. Physical and internal condition is quite good. 240V version.
VEMIA note: this looks like an extremely well-made example, with thought given to improving the layout, and making the graphics clear and elegant. Considerably better than the commercial version, to be honest. Very worth fixing - this synth can reportedly sound excellent - ask Lucid.

VEMIA can collect and pack: 12GBP."
