searching for vactrol schematics i came across this one
vactrol pattern synthesizer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhFhgtrzzm4&feature=related#normal)
very charming i think :-*
not shure if this is the same schematics, but it looks simple (some aspects i don't overstand though)

would be nice if it could be synced to triggerpuls.. (anyone ? ;D )
i have also an simple vactrol compressor diagram in an old Graig Anderton book
wich i'm not posting here because of copyrights ;) But thats also charming thingy
any other fun vactrol projects ? post them here :D
btw, whats the difference between vactrol and optocoupler ?

Damn, that sounds awesome!
I found the Mutant Vactrol Filter a while back, it's earmarked for build when I've cleared a lot of other projects off the table...

I don't think there is any difference - I've only ever heard one person use the term vactrol, and it does exactly the same thing. you can get optocouplers in ic form :D
ah, i tought it was the same.. vactrol sounds nicer i think, but optocoupler sounds more scientific :P
@ bogus noise, hope you let us know how you get along with it
