In true Make Noise fashion, this video dives into the subtle art of using VCAs not just for loudness, but for sculpting silence and dynamic movement in modular patches. Pete, filling in from the Make Noise Instagram channel, walks through three distinctive approaches: a Binary Zone-inspired Maths + TEMPI patch, a minimal-cable 0-Coast + 0-CTRL setup, and a crossfading, balanced modulation trick with X-PAN and Ch.Svr. The result? A masterclass in how voltage control and clever routing can breathe life—and rests—into your system. If you think VCAs are just for volume, this one’s a gentle nudge to think again.
