#low pass gate

ESOTERIC SYNTHESIS/WEST COAST SYNTHESIS/SERGE MODULAR

Video previously posted here. via Prism Circuits: The QUASAR system was inspired by the unpredictable nature of black holes and exploring the thoughts of getting lost in space by immersing yourself into a system that guides you in many unknown directions to force one to patch in ways they never thought possible. With no sequencer in the system, users are forced to think outside the box to create melody and patterns. Having a lot of random voltages within the system allows this instrument to be a force of its own when it comes to generative patching techniques and moving compositions that can morph in the time domain. qua·sar /ˈkwāˌzär/ a massive and extremely remote celestial object, emitting exceptionally large amounts of energy, and typically having a starlike image in a telescope. It has been suggested that quasars contain massive black holes and may represent a stage in the evolution of some galaxies.

Here’s another recording of playing with the Takaab dual low-pass gate. In this recording, I am playing a sequence from an Arturia Beatstep connected by MIDI to the NiftyCase’s input. 

The pitch CV is multed into the pitch input of my 2HP VCO and the cutoff input of the Wasp filter. I’m sending the square wave into the Wasp filter. The low-pass output is then multed and sent to each of the low-pass gates. 

The gate from the Beastep is also multed. One is input to the CV of the top low-pass gate, while the other goes into the LFO input of the Dreadbox Utopia. (I’m not really sure what that actually does.) I’ve sent an offset LFO output to the CV2 input of the Wasp filter. That LFO signal is normaled to the “Pulserizer” function on the Utopia, and I am using the Pulserizer output to gate the lower low-pass gate.
