Synthesizer Grundlagen - Teil 5 - VCA und ???

Synthesizer basics are back on the agenda. This video focuses on the VCA, the Voltage Controlled Amplifier. Here you'll learn what this component does, why the "A" in VCA doesn't simply stand for "amplifier," and why the VCA module is practically worthless on its own. To use the VCA effectively, we need another component that works closely with it. ... ======================== Chapter 00:00 Intro 00:43 Overview of the Synthesizer Schematic 01:22 Locating the VCA/Amplifier on the Device 02:48 Test Setup in the Cardinal: VCO and VCA Only 05:06 The A Stands for Amplifier, or Attenuator 05:49 Opening and Closing the VCA via Gate 06:56 The Envelope Generator (EG) 07:20 The ADSR Schematic 10:20 ADSR Using Clearly Audible Settings in the Cardinal 12:37 Locating the Envelope Generator on the Sub37 14:16 Practical Example 1: Basic "Organ" Setting 14:50 Practical Example 2: Piano-like Volume Flow 17:22 Practical Example 3: Staccato Sound, Inspired by "Popcorn" 19:06 Practical Example 4: Percussive sound reminiscent of a kick drum 20:42 Summary and mention of further envelope parameters 23:27 Closing remarks / Credits ================================ TechTiger is a privately run channel by Sascha Kribitz featuring "explainer" videos on technical topics.
