This is a barebone, entry level Eurorack size VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) for people who are curious about modular synths but can't afford the crazy prices . To keep costs down , all components are mostly smd, all on one side and withtout a front panel .
Please watch this presentation first :

The unit takes an audio in (like from a CVO) an modulates the signal with the CVin (ie: an enveloppe) and outputs the result . It's a double VCA so it offers two VCAs on the same panel. An offset pot allows to control the amount of CVin.
