I-441 Quad Low Pass Gate
Quad version of West Coast LPG
DESCRIPTION
The 441 Quad Low Pass Gate is a quad 'macro' version of the West Coast LPG (NI's take on Buchla's classic low pass gate).
All 4 LPG's share the same Damp, Pluck and LPG controls.
The channels have different response characteristics (1= Slowest, 4 = Fastest).
I built this to give quick convenient access to multiple LPG's in the Reaktor Blocks Racks environment.
Level can either be set via the CV input (e.g. from an envelope) or, via the Ref switch, enabling manual control and thus the Quad LPG to be used as a conventional mixer.
When excited by a sharp-edged signal via its Pluck input, the LPG opens and closes in a natural sounding manner, giving sounds a plausible quality that is reminiscent of a drum hit or a plucked string.
ALL is a Mix sum of all inputs, and CV is an envelope follower signal derived from ALL
CONTROLS:
================================================================
COLOURED SOCKETS: Modulation Outputs (unsynchronized).
BLACK SOCKETS: Modulation Inputs.
RATE: controls the rate of all 8 LFO's.
RANDOM: crossfades between Sin/Tri shaped LFO's into random smoothed modulation.
PATHCHING COLOUR CODE:
================================================================
- Black Socket = 'CV' in.
- Grey Socket = Alt 'CV' in.
- Coloured Socket = 'CV' out.
- Red Socket = Gate/Trig Out.
- Hex Socket = Audio In/Out.
The design may go against the Blocks design protocols and best practice... but it works and it makes patching a lot quicker and fun (for me anyway).
There will be more in this range to come :)
