1. Introduction
The CubuSynth VCFA is a multimode VCF with LP,HP and BP modes with integrated VCA, CV control over Frequency, Resonance and Volume. The CV input for the Frequency features 1V/Oct scaling over about 2~3 octaves. So you can even create plucky melodies with the resonance in "ringing" mode. The Gain control can reach a nice, soft saturation.

2. Specifications
 Size: 10HP / 50mm  Depth: 34mm (measured from the front panel)  Current Draw:
+12V: +14mA -12V: -14mA
3. Key features
 3 simultaneous Outputs for Low Pass, Band Pass and High Pass  Integrated VCA at the input stage  CV control over Volume, Frequency and Resonance  "Ringing" mode on upper Resonance setting  1 V/oct tracking over 2~3 octaves (with Freq CV attenuator on 100%)  Saturation on incoming signal (VCA stage) on upper Gain setting
