Re: Lowpass Gate Demostration (Dual Borg VCF)

2006-01-09 by djthomaswhite

Hey all, glad some of you have got something out of the sample. Now 
go buy to Borg 2's to do it on your own. I love the sound!

So, regarding the sample: The high pitch sound at that time in the 
sample is a the second oscillator with a high frequency setting due 
to the randomness of the sample and hold. The sustain on that part of 
the sound is due to me slowing down the pulse rate on the LFO. This 
stretches out the pulse to be a little longer so the sound of the 
gate sustains a little bit. You can still hear the nice shapre the 
vactrol adds to the notes when it ends as a sound with decay. 

As I have the Dual Borg, I have resonance turned up on the which 
might have caused some oscillation at the point of mention in the 
sample. The dual set up can release some 25V peak to peak madness. 
Dangerous but really makes some cool sounds when attenuated down. 
Dual oscillating filters with a bit of pink noise make mean kick 
drums. Thanks folks,

Thomas
