Arcane Knowledge VCA / Overdrive - User’s Manual for Eurorack
Copyright 2024 SetonixSynth. All rights reserved.
Hello and thank you for using the Arcane Knowledge VCA / Overdrive for Eurorack modular. We hope you
will find it to be a fun and interesting sounding vintage-style processor for your audio signals!
The Arcane Knowledge marries two classic circuits to create what we see as a “utility flavor” module. First
up is a discrete transistor core VCA stage similar to those found in very early modular synths: not the
cleanest or most precise amplifier, but rather full of harmonic richness and color to bring a little kick to
those squeaky clean waveforms.
This VCA may be used on its own or through the switchable Drive circuit, which slaps a high-gain Tube
Screamer-style soft clipping overdrive stage on the audio signal. Unlike the Tube Screamer, however, the
Arcane Knowledge’s drive stage uses different diodes in the forward and reverse position, creating
asymmetric clipping with more emphasis of even order harmonics. Using the rear trimmer, this stage can
be configured to give the VCA output signal anything from a tasty boost to fully crunched sonic mayhem.
For those looking to liven up their sound, sometimes the old ways are best. Enlighten yourself: it’s the
Arcane Knowledge!
Technical Specifications:
Width: 10 hp (Intellijel 1U format)
Depth: 35 mm
Peak Current Draw: 15 mA @ +12V, 15mA @ -12V
1. Installing the Arcane Knowledge
The Arcane Knowledge uses a standard 10-pin Eurorack power header which is mounted on the back of
the module. When connecting the power cable, make sure that the -12V rail from your case’s power
supply aligns with that of the module. The stripe on the bottom of the power header and the “-12V” label
indicate the location of this rail on the module. The Ancient Scroll has reverse diode protection so
plugging it in backwards will probably not destroy the module or case; however, we strongly recommend
taking the proper precautions to plug it in correctly before powering up your case.
The 1U format module will fit in any 1U case. Once your power ribbon cable is connectedIntellijel-format
to the rear of the module, place it in the case and mount it using either two diagonal rack screws or
screws in each of the four corner holes.
2. Theory of Operation
The Arcane Knowledge is an audio VCA with Overdrive which is designed to sound nice and impart
subtle (or not subtle) distortions (meaning, differences from the original input waveform) which the ear
may perceive as more compelling than a totally “clean” waveform, and which will of course provide more
material to be filtered, EQ’ed, etc if desired, which we find to be an essential ingredient when recreating
the sound of classic analog synthesizers, which are full of life and variation in the sound. Keen listeners or
oscilloscope users will notice a slight noise floor from the transistors (especially with the Drive mode
engaged) but we believe the interesting sound these circuits provide outweighs a little noise.
With this module, we truly stand on the shoulders of giants. The VCA section is similar to Yusynth’s
,” a great module in its own right. There is also a very thorough explanation of the circuit in
Simple VCA
the Erica Synths EDU VCA . The Tube Screamer is one of the most famous fuzz/overdrive effectsManual
ever made, and a great explanation of the whole circuit is offered .here
