This is an analog low pass gate incorporating Vactrols. It uses 2nd order RC filter as the core of the circuit.
Functionality
- Better suited for thick bass sounds.
- Has no resonance.
- Frequency can be modulated via CV.
- A momentary BLAST toggle to make the CUTOFF reach the highest frequency (which sounds great.)
Here are some ways to use this module:
1. As a Low Pass Gate
- Use a GATE signal as the CV.
- Make sure the GATE is very short.
- Use the CUTOFF control to limit the frequency range.
2. As a Low Pass Filter
- Feed a fixed voltage to the CV. (Probably 3.3V from the +V in the input section)
- Use the CUTOFF control to set the cutoff frequency.
Inputs
- Audio In
- GATE/CV In
- +V of 3.3V (This is not an input, but can be feed for CV input to act as a low pass filter.)

Controls
- CUTOFF: Controls the cutoff frequency of the filter.
- BLAST: A momentary toggle to make the cutoff frequency the highest possible.
