DARV - Dual Attack, Release, & VCA
Two channels of function generator, oscillator, slew limiter, envelope, and VCAs. This is half of our QARV module but is cascadeable. So you get two channels of modulation or a two channel envelope generator w/ mixer. You can then connect multiple units together to cascade to get 4, 6, or 8 channels. It can also be connected to our Mixer lineup (Bartender/Barback) so you don't have to use a channel on your final mixer.
Both channels have the following features:
- Uni-polar oscillator mode
- Attack and release time control via potentiometer and via input jack
- Shape control that controls shape for both attack and release
- Output attenuverter
- VCAs that normal to each subsequent channel (CH1 -> CH2, etc.). So you can get a mix of all channels out of the CH2 VCA output (unless you patch a VCA output from an earlier channel)
Channel 1
- Voltage source (5V)
- Can be switched between IN (slew mode) and TRIG (envelope) mode
- RISE and FALL gates. You can use our G&T module to turn these gates into triggers.
- Cycle times 50sec - 1kHz (0.5ms)
Channel 2:
- Bi-polar oscillator mode
- Dedicated IN and TRIG jacks (helpful for adding offset to a triggered ENV)
- BOTH input jack to simplify patching both the attack and release (also inverts the input to give more standard pitch tracking of higher voltage equals higher pitch)
- Cycle times 200sec - 1kHz (0.5ms)
