These integrated diodes reduce distortion, allowing higher input signal levels—crucial for audio quality.

If you’ve ever dabbled in building your own modular synthesizer, designed a compressor pedal, or experimented with voltage-controlled filters, you’ve almost certainly encountered the lm13720

remains a pillar of analog DIY and synthesizer design. Its ability to create voltage-controlled systems simply and effectively, combined with the convenience of built-in buffers and linearizing diodes, ensures its place in the analog designer's toolkit for years to come. Ready to start your next analog project? The

The core of many compressors, limiters, and synth modules, a VCA allows you to control the amplitude of a signal with a control voltage (CV). 2. Voltage-Controlled Filter (VCF) Go to product viewer dialog for this item
