Amplifier (VCA)

A voltage-controlled-amplifier (VCA) controls Retroverb Lancet’s output. It
o

ff

ers the following control elements:

Picture 8: VCA Section

LFO INT

This control sets the LFO's modulation intensity towards the output
volume. The result is a tremolo-e

ff

ect.

MOD SRC

This switch sets the modulation source for the VCA. There are three
positions:

CV

external signal connected to the pedal/CV-input

EF

Envelope Follower, a control signal deriving from the level at the
input

EG

Envelope Generator - see "Envelope Generator (EG)", page 17

MOD

This switch enables or disables the modulation via the selected modula-
tion source. If it is set to OFF the VCA is opened permanently.
