Lopass Gate Module
Description
The Lopass Gate module is a multi-mode filter/VCA combo module split into lopass gate, filter, and VCA modes. The lopass gate mode
is unique in the way that it simulates the characteristics of natural instruments. Louder sounds contain more harmonic content and
quieter sounds contain less harmonic content. Lowpass filter mode adds a resonance control creating a modern, aggressive filter sound.
The VCA is an extremely clean, quiet voltage controlled amplifier.
Controls
Frequency Control – In filter mode, the frequency knob controls the center frequency of the filter. In VCA mode, the frequency knob
controls the pass through signal level. In lopass gate mode, the frequency knob controls both the center frequency of the filter and the
pass through signal level.
Resonance Control – In filter mode, the resonance knob controls the amount of resonance. In VCA mode and lopass gate mode, the
resonance knob is not active.
Mode Switch – Switch between G (Gate/VCA), B (Both/Lowpass Gate), and L (Low pass filter) modes.
FM CV Attenuator Control and Input – Frequency modulation CV input and attenuation control.
Invert Switch – Inverts the FM CV signal from positive to negative or negative to positive.
IN – Audio signal input.
PNG – Gate or trigger input used to ping the vactrol and quickly modulate the frequency of the module.
OUT – Audio signal output.
