Page 2: ... the release range is 250 to 5 dB sec These markings may seem cryptic at first but upon further investi gation we find that an attack setting of 3 dB msec means that the VCA will reduce its gain at a rate of 3 dB for every millisecond 0 001 second of time or 3000 dB for every second of time Whereas a release rate of 250 dB sec means that the VCA will release its gain reduction at a rate of 250 dB ...
