The VC-FC is a unique forward compressor in the sense that all compressor parameters can be voltage controlled from the external modulation sources by CV inputs. It gives a lot of possibilities for an instant change of compressors character by CV signals from analogue sequencers or other CV generating devices. The external devices, such as filters can be also inserted in to the Side Chain of the compressor for frequency dependend gain reduction.
MODE/ variable threshold The threshold from
which incoming signal is compressed is variable in the range from -15 to +15
dB.
MODE/ constant threshold. The gain of the compressor is variable in the
range of +24 to -6 dB with a fixed output level at +6 dB at maximal
ratio.
KNEE
Knee can be set for a sharp or soft character of gain
reduction ((imitates the vintage opto compressors gain reduction)
by manual
selector or by CV signal with two states; 0 for sharp knee and +2 Volts to 10
Volts for soft knee.
RATIO
The compression angle is variable (by knob) or
by CV signal from OFF (no compression) to limiting (almost infinite
compression)
ATTACK and RELEASE
Attack and release time are controllable
by knobs or by CV signals in a wide range for all possible musical
applications.
The Attack Time; from 200usec's to 250 msec's and The
Release Time; from 20msec's to 8 sec's.
MAKEUP GAIN
The Makeup Gain is
controlled by knob or by CV signal in the range from -15 dB to +15 dB
