ARBA

  

 

 

 

NORMALIZATION: 

All the jacks in 

ARBA

 are normalized to the next channel, meaning that when a cable is unconnected to 

the jack, the signal is coming from the previous channel (input, CV, and output signals).  

To break the normalization, all you need to do is to connect cable into the jack.

 

EXAMPLE 2 -  DUAL STEREO VCA: 

To use 

ARBA 

as a stereo VCA you can use the normalization of the CV inputs and share one CV 

for two (or more) channels. 

In the following example, 

ARBA

 is divided into two sections, each of which functions as a stereo 

VCA. 

 

The first stereo VCA including channels 1 and 2: 

CV input of channel 2 is unconnected so it’s receiving the same CV signal from the CV input of 

channel 1. 

 

The second Stereo VCA including channels 3 and 4: 

The second CV signal is connected to the CV input of channel 3. This will break the normalization 

from the previous CV inputs and will be used as the CV for channels 3 and 4. 

 

 

With the same principles, you can blend examples 1 and 2 to create one stereo VCA and two mono 

VCAs.
