a Vactrol is an LED and a Photoresistor in a light-tight package. The
module is the Buchla 292 lopass gate. A VCA/Filter module that uses
Vactrols as it's voltage control element. The desirable thing about
them is that they isolate the signal from the control path and that
they have a certain amount of slew to them. That is, they move alittle
slow, giving the notes a rounded attack and release. Feel free to join
us and become obsessed.<br>
