Re: [wiardgroup] Re: getting the Borg 1200 to act as a low pass gate

2006-08-23 by Mark Griffiths

Hi, thanks, I think I have this working now. I would have replied earlier but I had an unscheduled stay in hospital.
I'm wondering..does anyone else use a name for their modular? I suggested "Dirty Knobby" to the wife and it seems to have stuck. With the Philip Dick reference it seems to fit nicely.
regards, Mark

Route a sine wave to Audio In. Monitor Main Out. Envelope generator to Control In.
Set Frequency all the way counter clockwise (off). Control Range all the way clockwise, Type
to LP (all the way counter clockwise) and Peaking to VCA (all the way counter clockwise until
switch clicks).

When used as a filter, route the 1 volt per octave keyboard control voltage going to the VCO
to Key In also. Otherwise you can use it as a general purpose CV input.
