intellijel Passive LPG 1U Passive Low-Pass Gate Eurorack Module (6 HP, 1U)

intellijel PLPG-1U Overview

Shape your signal in a natural and organic way with the intellijel Passive LPG 1U, 6 HP 1U Eurorack module with a simple DC-coupled vactrol-based 1-pole passive low-pass gate.

The circuit is controlled by an external CV input. Without positive control voltage, the gate is completely closed and none of the LPG's input signal is passed through to the output. Increasing amounts of positive CV open the gate-making the output signal both louder and brighter. This makes LPGs sound very different (and more acoustic) than the traditional complement of envelopes, VCFs and VCAs that are employed in most subtractive synthesizers.

Exciting the vactrol (via the CV input) with a trigger, noise blast, or short envelope will result in a very natural sounding filtered envelope that's reminiscent of the sonic characteristic of struck objects, which are allowed to decay naturally.
