Low Distortion VCA

The New Systems Instruments VCA module gives you four well-calibrated VCAs in 6HP. These VCAs use operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) at their core, for true linear operation. However, unlike most OTA VCAs, the New Systems VCA is extremely low noise and distortion, coming in at < 1%, with < 0.5% typical.

There's no such thing as “transparent,” particularly in synthesis, where the concept of an original signal that could be faithfully reproduced is often altogether absent. In a VCA in particular, a desirable envelope response can be even more important than accurate reproduction of the input at some fixed level.

With accurate linear OTAs and top of the industry noise and distortion characteristics, the New Systems Instruments VCA will relax into the background and sync with whatever you want to throw at it, whether you're modulating another CV, doing AM synthesis, or just applying an envelope to a signal.
