most low pass gates have vactrols, they use actual tiny lights or leds inside this little black blob they look like this http://mnats.net/images/optoisolators.jpg these are used to slow down the response of the circuit and it gives the circuit a bit more of a natural vibe so instead of the sound dieing quicky and giving you a *pop* its going to be more like a *popmm* a bit slow on the tail end. this essentially gives it a slight decay envelope that can be described as rubbery or woody. about 3 minutes into this video, you get a great example of the sound. http://vimeo.com/2680645 On Sun, Nov 7, 2010 at 5:22 PM, Giorgio <dancemachine@gmail.com> wrote: > > > qmmg has 4, yes, that can each function as vca, low pass filer, vca+LPf aka > "both" and a high pass filter. after getting the qmmg i use is in both mode > in place of a VCA, and almost never use another filter.
