I presume by 1 v/o you mean 1 volt per octave. While this makes sense for oscillator or filter cutoff frequency it does not necessarily make sense for a VCA or other module without a common unit of calibration. A VCA could have a logarithmic, linear or other non-linear control law for the gain. To calibrate a logarithmic control to 1V/6dB gives a gain range of 60dB over the typical 0-10V control source range which is not adequate to fully cut off the sound. To allow for this a VCA will often have a voltage mixer for the input control voltages to allow them to be scaled to the desired control depth. /Tristan On Sun, Sep 29th, 2019 at 10:29 AM, Dustin Sedlacek <xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> wrote: > Every time I talk to eurorack guys about 1 v/o VCA or wavefolder they don't > seem to understand why anyone would want that. > > Isnt control the thing that everyone wants? > > What about 1v/o inputs are not desirable?
