Cre8audio Mr. Phil Ter Eurorack VCA Filter and Envelope Generator Module
Mr. Phil Ter isn’t the smartest name for a module that hasan envelope generator, VCA, and a filter in it. Well, we never claimed to besmart. Mr. Phil Ter, or Phil as we affectionately call it, is a module thatdoes a whole bunch of analog and digital stuff, in not a lot of HP. The analogbits, developed in partnership with the ultra-serious folks at PIt’sburghModular Synthesizers (a very serious synthesizer company) and are comprised ofa voltage controlled amplifier circuit (VCA) as well as an extra juicyold-school transistor ladder filter, perfect for those of you who are notafraid of ladders or transistors. (personally, we’re terrified of them). Anyway,pair Mr. Phil Ter up with any oscillator or crank up its own filter section’sresonance and self-oscillate, get crazy. He’s just what the doctor ordered tocomplete (or not) any synthesizer voice.

Envelope facts
Voltage range: 0-10V
Gate trigger threshold voltage: +5V
Attack, Release, and Decay times 0-10s (slow). 0-5s (fast)
Easter egg mode – quantize itself to 7bit for a steppysample & hold effect
VCA facts – It’s a VCA, not YMCA or YWCA, but made withlove. Sound or voltage goes in, and it will come out, or not. Control it withvoltage or not. You can never have too many VCA’s, and this a good one.
Filter facts – Classic low-pass transistor ladder filterdesign, also will self-oscillate when resonance is cranked, creating a superclean trackable sine wave
33mA power draw when running +12V rail
22mA power draw when running +5V rail
36mA power draw when running -12V
