Multiphonics Tutorial 8—The Low Pass Gate (LPG) Module

Check out Multiphonics CV-3: https://www.applied-acoustics.com/mul... In this tutorial, we take a look at the Low Pass Gate module which borrows ideas from the world of west coast synthesis. This module is similar to a VCA but with low-pass filter behaviour which allows one to vary simultaneously the volume and brightness of a sound. It is a great option to spice-up your patches. This video was created using Multiphonics CV-1, but the same concepts apply to the newer version, Multiphonics CV-3. While CV-3 introduces some differences compared to its predecessor, the core principles remain the same.
