VCAs in the Modular Environment with VCV Rack 2

This video series is about the most famous building block in the modular environment, the VCA. It's known as the Voltage Controlled Amplifier, but there's much more to it, and it can help you open up a system in many exciting ways. We start with what a VCA is, and many ways of using it, and we build multiple patches from scratch, implementing the techniques and ideas.

We'll be using VCV Rack 2, which is a free Eurorack emulation, so all the ideas will work in hardware as well. There's also an accompanying PDF file with patch diagrams of the different techniques, so you can experiment with these techniques in your own systems and patches.

This video series is fitting for beginners and advanced users alike. If you're looking for inspiration, or for having a stronger foundation, you will find this video series helpful.
