The Steady State Gate is a compact multimode low pass gate with a discrete design. It produces an organic and unique decay response that is characteristic of LPG, like plucked strings, and various timbral modulation controls are added to it.
A timbral control 'Timbre' with three mode selection switches, a filter cutoff with switchable frequency response and a variable decay envelope are all controlled by front panel sliders and external CV input. The 'Q-FACTOR', which functions as a VC resonance, is also capable of self-oscillation, enabling a variety of expressions in combination with modulation via the VC-Timbre's QAOS mode.
The 'EXCITE' input, which senses the envelope attack stage up to 50ms and 'strikes/pings' the circuit, produces a Vactrol LPG response curve in response to gates, triggers, or external envelopes.To use the unit in VCF mode, unpatch this input.In addition, the built-in VC envelope with dedicated outputs can be patched to external modules as well as patched back to the unit's 'Timbre', 'Q-FACTOR' and 'FREQ CV' inputs for these parameter responses. Expandable.
