The last VCA for today. This is a more true VCA than the other two. But it is still a very rudimentary VCA without that many features. It has a BIAS knob, that is necessary for it to work with all our different CV ranges. You can also choose if you want to have a CV amount knob or not. It works both with and without. And might be good to have in later when wanting to do some more advanced patching :) Its a choice. A little more advanced build than the the other two really simple "VCA"'s...
