Triple VCA w/Modulator

Ordinarily, Voltage Controlled Amplifiers are pretty
routine. But by combining 2 VCAs, a Balanced
Modulator, a White Noise Source and Envelope
Generator in a single module and interconnecting
them with a powerful normalization design, the 9710
redefines what a VCA module should be.
At the highest level, you can use the 9710 like a
traditional VCA but with the added convenience of a
built-in Voltage Controlled Input Submixer and ADSR
Envelope Generator. This configuration of elements
allows a couple of signals to be mixed together
before being processed by the VCA which is con-
trolled by the ADSR. It would ordinarily require three
or four modules and a handful of patch cords but is
embodied as a single element in the 9710.
And the versatility of individual modules is not
sacrificed because patch cords can be used to
override the normalization and access progressively
lower level functional sub-groups or even the indi-
vidual elements.
