[sdiy] Low Pass Gate is soooOOOOooo sweet

[Peter Grenader]

Yo guys...the low pass gate isn't about speed, it's about timbre.  The
slowness is what gives it its unique sound.  Perfect analogy is a wasp
filter.  A flawed design in a classic filter sense that gives an interesting
effect.

Same thing goes here.  Admit it...VCA's are boring.  Most act exactly the
same.  Well, this one doesn't.
