Laurentide Synthworks VG2
Passive Dual Vactrol Gate
4 HP Eurorack module
VG2 is a passive dual vactrol gate. Each channel uses CV to open an audio path and applies a simple low-pass filter at its audio output.
Features
- Two passive vactrol-gate channels, each with CV, audio input, and audio output.
- CV drives the vactrol LED to pass audio.
- Each channel has CV-input activity indication.
- Channel 1 CV is normalled to Channel 2 CV.
Controls & Jacks (10)
- Channel 1 Cutoff— Sets the amount of simple low-pass filtering on Channel 1's audio output; higher capacitance/filtering tames more high-frequency content.
- Channel 2 Cutoff— Sets the amount of simple low-pass filtering on Channel 2's audio output; higher capacitance/filtering tames more high-frequency content.
- Channel 2 Audio Output— Vactrol-gated, low-pass-filtered audio output for Channel 2.
- Channel 1 Audio Output— Vactrol-gated, low-pass-filtered audio output for Channel 1.
- Channel 1 Audio Input— Audio signal input for Channel 1.
- Channel 1 CV Status— Independent LED indicating activity at Channel 1's CV input.
- Channel 2 CV Status— Independent LED indicating activity at Channel 2's CV input.
- Channel 1 CV Input— CV input for Channel 1; it drives the vactrol LED to open the gate and is also routed to the Channel 2 CV input unless that connection is in
- Channel 2 Audio Input— Audio signal input for Channel 2.
- Channel 2 CV Input— CV input for Channel 2; it drives Channel 2's vactrol LED and receives the top CV signal through the factory connection when unpatched.
