Cascaded CV 
The Quad VCA features cascading CV, meaning that one CV input can be used to control more
than one channel. If a channel’s CV input is left unconnected then the channel will respond to CV
from the previous channel, subject to its own CV attenuation level:
1. Connect two different oscillator outputs or other sound sources to IN 1 and IN 2 .
2. Connect a CV source such as an envelope to CV 1 .
3. Take output from OUT 2 , or also OUT 1 if going for further parallel processing.
4. Use the CV attenuators and linear / exponential response knobs to fine tune the response of
each channel to the incoming CV.
This technique can be extended to up to four channels.
Cascaded Mixing 
The outputs of the Quad VCA have a cascaded mixing feature, allowing it to be used as a mixer:
1. Connect up to four sources to IN 1 through IN 4 .
2. Take the output from the OUT 4/MIX jack.
3. LEVEL 1 through LEVEL 4 control the mix levels.
4. You do not need to connect anything to CV 1 through CV 4 if you are using the module as a
manually controlled mixer, but they can be used to automate the mix on one or more channels.
Combinations 
The previous methods of using the Quad VCA can be combined. For example, you can use
cascaded mixing on channels 1-3 by taking the mix out of OUT 3 and then use channel 4 as an
independent VCA. Let your imagination and the module’s versatility be your guide.
