through R
and passive components produce noise which is
passed on to the control port of the VCA, causing
modulation of the signal. By itself, the 4301 VCA pro-
duces very little noise modulation, and its perfor-
mance can be significantly degraded by the use of
noisy components in the control voltage path.

opamps provided in the 4301 enable the designer to
configure these building blocks with few external
components to construct gates, expanders, de-essers,
noise reduction systems and the like.
