CubuSynth - VCFA
Product information "CubuSynth - VCFA"
The CubuSynth VCFA is a multimode VCF with LP,HP and BP modes with integrated VCA, CV control over frequency, resonance and volume. The CV input for the frequency features 1V/Oct scaling over about 2~3 octaves. So you can even create plucky melodies with the resonance in "ringing" mode. The gain control can reach a nice, soft saturation.
Features:
• 3 simultaneous Outputs for Low Pass, Band Pass and High Pass
• Integrated VCA at the input stage
• CV control over volume, frequency and resonance
• "Ringing" mode on upper resonance setting
• 1 V/oct tracking over 2~3 octaves (with freq CV attenuator on 100%)
• Saturation on incoming signal (VCA stage) on upper gain setting
DIY-Kit-Type:
THT-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. Only trough-hole parts to solder. Make sure to check the build guide before you buy. For build guide, more info, videos etc. please check the buttons below.

Product Safety Information
Eurorack DIY Kits
Important Notice & Intended Use
Please read this safety guide before installation or use. This kit is intended for adult users experienced in electronics and modular synthesis. Assembly, including soldering, is required. Proper testing and installation are essential to ensure safe and functional operation. The completed module is intended for installation in a Eurorack-compatible synthesizer system powered by ±12V and +5V.
General Warnings
1. Electrical Hazards:
• Ensure the power supply matches the module’s specified voltage and current ratings (refer to the product manual). Incorrect voltage can damage the module and pose a safety risk.
• Never connect or disconnect the module while the Eurorack system is powered on.
• Wrong polarity can damage your module or system. Make sure the module is connected with correct polarity.
2. Heat Generation:
• The module may generate heat during operation. Ensure proper ventilation within your Eurorack case to prevent overheating.
3. Sharp Edges:
• The module’s faceplate and components may have sharp edges. Handle with care to avoid cuts or scratches.
4. Small Parts:
• Contains small parts that could cause a choking hazard. Keep away from children and pets.
5. Compatibility:
• This module is designed specifically for Eurorack-compatible systems. Connecting it to non-compatible systems may result in damage or malfunction.
Assembly Requirements
• Soldering skills are required to complete the module.
• Ensure a clean, well-lit and ventilated workspace free of flammable materials during assembly.
• Use appropriate tools and safety equipment, such as eye protection.
Testing
• Test the module thoroughly for shorts or incorrect assembly before powering it in your Eurorack system. When the unit has malfunctions due to incorrect assembly, the entire Eurorack system might be damaged. It's a good idea to test it in a separate case with only that single module.
• Use a multimeter or other appropriate tools to confirm proper functionality.
Installation and Use
• Mount securely in a Eurorack case using the provided screws.
• Use only the included or manufacturer-recommended power cable.
• Connect only when the power is off.
• Follow the module's user guide for instructions on operation. Do not exceed the input/output limits specified.
Responsibility
Users are solely responsible for proper assembly and testing. Contact manufacturer support for assistance if needed.
Environmental Safety
• Dispose of the module, its components, and packaging in accordance with local electronic waste regulations.
Liability Disclaimer
• The manufacturer or distributor is not responsible for any injury, damage, or malfunction resulting from improper installation, use, or modification of this product.

Manufacturer "CubuSynth"
Cubusynth was founded by Ruben Sponar in 2020 and is located in the south of Portugal.
We create Eurorack Modules, a modular synthesizer format.
Modular synthesizers, unlike pre-wired synthesizers, have panel-mounted audio, control, and sync jacks that allow direct connections (via patch cords) from any module to another module. The result is an endless universe of possibilities and combinations to achieve new sounds.
At CubuSynth we give you 3 ordering options, we provide modules assembled, calibrated and ready-to-use. The DIY (do it yourself) version of the modules, with all the components needed for assembly, as well as the respective instruction manual, this option is aimed at electronic soldering enthusiasts who like to get their hands dirty and see the magic of electronic connections come to life through your own hands. We also offer the possibility of purchasing the PCB and the front panel so that anyone with the necessary experience and knowledge in electronic soldering and modular synthesis can assemble our modules with the components they like best, in order to give our customers some freedom to create and customize our modules.
