Low Pass Gates such as the LxD are typically used to process audio signals.  The LxD excels at processing 

harmonically-rich sounds.  Patch your audio signal (e.g. STO Variable Shape OUTput; DPO Square OUTput) 

to the Signal INput of CH1.  Next, patch a Control Voltage, such as an Envelope or LFO (e.g. CH. 1 or 4 

MATHS; FUNCTION Non-Inverting OUTput with Cycle engaged), to the Control INput of CH. 1.  Then, patch 

the CH. 1 Signal OUT to your monitoring system and listen to the results.  Experiment with changing the 

Timbre of the Audio Signal you are processing (e.g. adjust the STO’s Variable Shape Control; patch DPO SAW 

or FINAL OUTput instead of Square and adjust FREQuency) and the rate of the Control Signal patched to the 

Control Signal INput.  Now, patch a Clock signal (e.g. Wogglebug Clock OUT; MATHS/FUNCTION EOR or EOC 

OUT) to the LxD CH. 1 STRIKE INput.  Observe the sound.  Remove the signal patched to LxD CH. 1 Control 

Signal INput.  Observe the sound.  Setup this same patch, but instead using CH.2.  Note the differences in 

the result.

Now, try patching a Square Wave from your VCO (e.g. STO SUB OUTput; DPO Square OUTput) to LxD CH. 1 

Signal INput.  Patch an LFO (e.g. CH. 1 or 4 of MATHS; Non-Inverting OUTput from FUNCTION with CYCLE 

engaged) to LxD CH. 1 Control INput.  Patch a faster Square LFO or CLOCK signal (e.g. Wogglebug Clock 

OUTput; MATHS or FUNCTION EOR or EOC OUTput) to LxD CH.2 STRIKE INput.  Patch LxD CH. 2 Signal 

OUTput to your monitoring system.  Listen to the results of the classic VCF into VCA signal path: performed 

here utilizing Low Pass Gates.
