Noise VCA
Noise Generator with state variable VCF and VCA
1. Introduction
An all-in-one noise 'voice'. A white noise generator followed by a state-variable VCF (switchable
high-, band-, or lowpass characteristic) with adjustable resonance (Q) and a VCA makes this versatile
module ideal for most standard noise applications. The integrated filter provides a wide range of rich
and colourful noise sounds. The VCF has a 2nd input, allowing one to combine external audio with the noise, or to replace the
VCF's noise input completely with an external source.
The VCA mode can be switched between exponential or linear characteristic, with a muting option when the switch is in its middle
position; the 'Offset' knob allows one to shift the VCA's start point by adding a negative or positive voltage to the VCA's CV input.

From Noise VCA Revision 2, this switch in combination with the knob 'VCF CV in' is replacing the polarizing potentiometer 'VCF CVin' of former versions, allowing a more precise control of the CV input level and in accordance with the control elements of other CG Product's modules.
