Compact stereo VC compressor for eurorack modular synthesizers. 16HP.

 

 

 

• Discrete Blacksea VCA based feed-forward compressor.
• Completely discrete circuit - VCAs and level detectors are discrete.
• Adjustable by potentiometers Treshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, Makeup gain.
• Treshold, Makeup, Ratio, Attack and Release can be controlled by CV.
• 5 LEDs reduction indicator range 40dB.
• Hard/soft knee switch.
• Two attack/release modes are available -- auto and variable. In AUTO mode attack and release rates are linked to shortest times possible (attack is 0.1ms). In VAR mode independent adjustments of the attack and release dynamics are possible.
• Peak (fast) or RMS (slow) detector timing options.
• Sidechain in for external sidechain processing.
• Envelope out allows to patch any VCA as compressor.
• Bypass switch.
• MIX knob adds input signal to the output - for parallel compression.
• Full reverse polarity protection.
• Power consumption: V+ 72mA, V- 67mA
