Rediscovering an Analogue Heritage
André Gençalves · 2011
With this paper I intend to report the latest developments in what was previously defined as The Voltage-Controlled Computer(VCC)[1]. This new paradigm is a hardware based system locating itself in a specific spectrum of Embedded Computing tat also complies to the standards and tradition of the Voltage-Controlled Synthesizer(VCS) as in[2][3][4]. This solution allows it’s users to rethink and setup new models for analog and digital integration and interaction within a Modular Synthesizer system. A report on the latest hardware developments and a full description of it’s actual software library illustrates how the VCS can be augmented through this particular device. Based on my own research and development of commercial VCS Modules, emphasis is directed towards developments beyond the VCC and the different implementation methods used for both software and hardware. Described modules bring new and powerful tools to the use of the Voltage-Controlled Synthesizer and are now in use by hundreds of user’s all over the world.
