We say...
Everyone loves a low-pass gate, and here's a great example, based on an original circuit rather than cloning anything vintage. Bongo-tastic!
Manufacturer’s description
The OpticTone MK2 is an improved revision of our original module, combining a 12dB multi-mode Vactrol VCF and a Vactrol VCA. This unique circuit is inspired by the distinct characteristics of Vactrols and Lowpass gates, celebrated for their fluid and natural character.
Features
- Vactrol based 12dB multi-mode Voltage Controlled Filter: Lowpass, Bandpass and Highpass.
- Vactrol Based Voltage Controlled Amplifier.
- Crossfade knob to mix the VCA and VCF section.
- Voltage controlled Resonance.
- Improved circuit for Lowpass Gate pluck sounds.
- Ping Input for percussive sounds generation.
- Filter Range switch.
- Switch to set VCA and VCF in Parallel or Series.
- Filter Frequency polarity inversion switch. Doesn’t change VCA polarity.
- Overdrive and Feedback controls.
- Attenuator/inverter knobs on all voltage controlled inputs
- Touch control over Frequency and Amplitude.
- Width: 10HP
- Depth: 33mm
- Power: 55mA +12V / 55mA -12V
