Noise VCA with state variable VCF and VCA - minijack version

Noise Generator with state-variable VCF and VCA

The NoiseVCA is a complete noise-'voice' with integrated VCF and VCA - but the range of using possibilities is much more widespread.
Instead of the internal white noise source, an external signal can be used as input for the VCF and VCA too.
For standard operation, the noise generator is feeding the VCF, followed the VCA.
The untreated white noise signal (transistor as noise source), a subfrequent random voltage and the VCF signal are available as direct outputs.
The state-variable VCF can be operated in highpass, bandpass or lowpass mode. The cutoff frequency is controllable by the big scale knob (and/or CV), and resonance is adjustable by knob 'Q' up to self-oscillation. The filter is providing a very good 1V/oct. tracking.
Optionally, an external signal is addable to the filter's input or may replace the white noise sourcecompletely.
For modulating the cutoff frequency, the VCF has an 1V/oct. input and 2nd one, which is adjustable by a potentiometer and which polarity can be inverted by a switch.
The VCA's input source is switchable between 'White Noise', 'Sub F' or 'VCF'.
Its control characteristic can be chosen between linear and exponential, and with the switch in middle position, the VCA is completely muted.
By using the polarizer-knob 'CV in', the control voltage for the VCA can be adjusted and inverted. Knob 'Offset' is adding an offset voltage in the range from ca. -5V to +5V to the CV signal. Thus, the VCA's zero point may be shifted in positive or negative direction - determing where the VCA is starting (e.g. with a triangle-wave as CV); or just to turn it loud, if there is no CV.
