2xVCA Exploration of Audio Rates Amplitude Modulation


Want to spice up your ordinary analog VCOs?
In my previous VCA Tips and Tricks video I showed you how to do audio rate modulation using a VCA. It's basically a tremolo, only the control signal is another audio signal.
The result ends up sounding similar to ring mod or FM.
Today I'll show you exactly how to patch it up. And explore the cornucopia of interesting AM sounds using various input and control signals possible using a VCA.

Today a timelapse build: a 104HP Eurorack case from cigar boxes. These are nice Spanish cedar cabinets, not cardboard. First I build a suitable box, install rack rails. Then solder together a bus board and install power supply. Last, putting all the modules inside.
