From the project
This is a Quad Exponential VCA based on the AS2164 Chip
A Eurorack Quad Exponential VCA based on the AS2164 chip — four high-performance VCAs in a single PDIP-16 package, drop-in compatible with the SSI/SSM 2164 family. 120 dB control range, 0.07 dB channel-to-channel gain matching, and a single MODE pin that selects between Class A (low distortion, high idle current) and Class AB (low power, moderate distortion).
