Hi John, I made pulse width sound with the DTG several times, which means I get a nice slice which shifts from thin to choruslike sound. This is different. But I'm now wondering. Yes, it's high pitched, but it's not filtered I think. Cheers, Roel --- In SergeModular@yahoogroups.c

Hi Roel If I understand your patch correctly, I can hear what sounds like HPF but it sounds to me more like pulse-width modulation. But perhaps I didn't patch it right. Anybody else? John R --- In SergeModular@yahoogroups.com , "roelelec" wrote: > > Hi all, > > Experimenting with

Yes, it is something different than a Buchla low-pass gate. There's no ringing at all but a DSG, DTG, or TGO does act as a gate with low-pass characteristics, i.e., a gentle roll-off of the high frequency content of the signal. You're correct that the Serge does not use vactrols
