Shaped Dual EnvVCA
4ms Company
User Manual 1.0 – November 15, 2022
The Shaped Dual EnvVCA is a dual analog envelope generator, waveshaper, slew limiter, and VCA.
Each of the two channels is identical and they can be used separately or together.
Shaped Dual EnvVCA features:
•
Versatile linear, exponential, and logarithmic envelope generator/LFO
•
Low-noise, low-distortion, DC-coupled linear VCAs
•
Shape slider, CV jack and attenuverters for fading between Exponential, Linear, and Logarithmic
envelope shapes without changing envelope timing
•
100% analog
•
Sliders and range switches control Rise and Fall times from ~2ms (500Hz) to ~2 min.
•
Time CV jack extends time range: ~400µs (2.5kHz) to ~1 hour.
•
Independent attenuverters for Rise and Fall time
•
Blue/Red lights indicate strength and polarity
• Cycle buttons for looping envelopes (LFO)
• Trigger input jack and switch for toggling between AR, ASR, and Cycle modes of triggering
•
EOR/F (End of Rise/Fall) gate outputs can be used to chain and sequence events
• Env Level and Offset knobs scale and shift ENV output without changing VCA volume
• Audio In and Out jacks for passing audio or CV through the VCA
• VCA CV inputs to use VCAs independently from the envelopes
•
VCA gain internally connected to envelope output when VCA CV jack is left unpatched
• Follow input jacks allow for slew limiting, envelope following/sidechaining, ADSR, and exotic
filtering effects
• Re-trig jumpers allow for re-triggering during rise phase

Setting up your Shaped Dual EnvVCA
1. Power off your Eurorack system.
2. On the back of the Shaped Dual EnvVCA you will see a 10-pin header. The 10-
pin header connects to a Eurorack power header using the included power
cable. Connect the 16-pin end of the power cable to a 16-pin Eurorack power
header on your power supply distribution board and the 10-pin end to the
Shaped Dual EnvVCA with the red stripe on the power cable oriented towards
the bottom of the module.
3. Using the included screws, securely attach the Shaped Dual EnvVCA to the
rails of your case.
4. Power on your Eurorack system.
Note: The Shaped Dual EnvVCA is reverse-polarity protected, but incorrectly
connecting any module in any system can damage other modules on the power bus.
Controls and Jacks
Cycle Buttons
The Cycle buttons toggle the cycling state for each channel. When cycling,
the Shaped Dual EnvVCA behaves like an LFO, with an output waveform
that continuously rises and falls. Each button illuminates orange to indicate
the module is cycling. Note that pressing this button does not reset or alter an
envelope that’s already rising or falling.
Cycling can also be toggled with a gate signal using the Trig jack and switch
(see below).
Rise/Fall Sliders and Switches
The Rise and Fall sliders control the rise and fall times of the envelope.
Moving a slider up makes the rise or fall portion slower, moving it down
makes it faster.
Each slider has a white light that indicates the current stage and output level
of the envelope. When the envelope is in the rise stage, the Rise slider light
will increase in brightness until the envelope hits its maximum. Once the peak
is reached, the Rise light will turn off and the Fall light will turn on, decreasing
in brightness as the envelope falls.
The Rise/Fall switches select the overall range of the sliders. Each slider has
its own switch with three positions: Fast, Med, Slow.
When the switch is flipped to Fast, the envelopes go well into the audio
range, allowing for classic AM, FM, and other fast modulation effects.
The middle position (Med) is designed for typical musical tempos, and can be
useful when using the VCA to make notes at common BPMs.
The Slow position is geared for gradual fades and other slow LFO-style
modulations.
See the Rise and Fall Time Ranges chart on page 6 for more information.
Time CV Jack and Rise/Fall CV Knobs
The Time CV jack modulates the Rise and Fall times of the envelope. The
jack feeds two knobs: Rise CV, and Fall CV. Each of these knobs is an
attenuverter (short for “attenuating inverter”) and controls how much the
control voltage on the Time CV jack will affect the rise or the fall time.
Turning an attenuverter knob to the right of center means that a positive
voltage on the Time CV jack will lengthen the rise/fall time and a negative
voltage will shorten the rise/fall time.
Turning a knob to the left of center gives the opposite effect, meaning that a
positive voltage on the Time CV jack will shorten the the rise/fall time, while a
