the steady state gate is a novel and discrete multi-mode low pass gate including an additional stage of timbre modifying circuitries.
features:
6db/oct bandpass, 6db/oct lowpass and 12db/oct lowpass filter modes
manual frequency cutoff control and cv input
manual resonance (q-factor) control and cv input
three timbre modifying circuits - manual control and cv input.
wave folder
soft saturation overdrive
qaos (resonance character modifier)
manual and voltage controlled decay envelope tailored to vactrol lpg response curve.
envelope output for self patching and controlling external modules
excite input conditions gates and triggers and external envelopes to 'pluck' the low pass gate
excite is input level sensitive to control the dynamics and emphasis of plucking effects.
sensitive to envelope attack up to about 50ms
the steady state gate can also be used as a standalone vcf or as a stand alone vca with high end roll off - typical of most traditional low pass gates- with or without timbre modifiers in play.
