Erogenous Tones VC8 – Cheat Sheet

Erogenous Tones VC8 is an 8-channel DC-coupled linear VCA module featuring individual control over each channel and optional sub-mix grouping.

Quick Reference

Inputs & Outputs

Channel	Signal Input	CV Input (LEVEL)	Audio Output	Notes
1-3	In 1-3	CV 1-3	Out 1-3	Standard VCA behavior
4	In 4	CV 4	Out 4	Can group 1-3 as sub-mix
5-7	In 5-7	CV 5-7	Out 5-7	Standard VCA behavior
8	In 8	CV 8	Out 8	Can group 5-7 as sub-mix

All Inputs/Outputs are DC coupled.
Voltage Range (CV Inputs): 0–+5V fully opens the VCA
Audio/Control Voltage Pass-through: Both CV and audio signals are supported (DC coupled).

Controls per Channel

LEVEL (CV Attenuator):
Attenuates incoming CV signal (0 to full amplitude).
Full VCA open at +5V.
OFFSET (CV Offset Knob):
Adds/subtracts a fixed voltage to the CV.
When no CV is patched, this knob manually opens/closes the VCA.
White LED:
Shows resulting CV level after attenuator and offset adjustments for each channel.

Sub-Mix Features

Channel 4 SUBMIX:
When engaged, Out 4 mixes audio from channels 1–3, volume controlled by VCA 4’s controls.
1/2/3 still output their individual signals as normal.
Channel 8 SUBMIX:
When engaged, Out 8 mixes audio from channels 5–7, volume controlled by VCA 8’s controls.
5/6/7 still output their individual signals as normal.

Physical & Power

Aluminum knobs with knurled edge
Width: 18 HP
Depth: Skiff Friendly (Shallow)
Current Draw: +12V/80mA, -12V/70mA

Usage Tips

For straight VCA: Patch input + CV, use LEVEL to set response, OFFSET to bias as needed.
For mixing: Engage sub-mix on CH4 or CH8—patch multiple inputs to 1–3 or 5–7.
Visual feedback: White LED helps quickly check what’s open or closed.
For DC/CV processing: Use with sequences, envelopes, or LFOs as it is DC-coupled.
