Oakley Little Lag

via this auction
"This is a very simple but useful little module to introduce 'smoothness' to CVs and waveforms with the addition of a 3 way mult. It doesn't just have the usual 'lag time' pot that some simple lag generators possess, but two separate UP and DOWN controls. The UP control will affect the speed at which the output of the module rises. The DOWN control affects the speed at which it falls.

Drive the unit with a gate signal and the module becomes an effective AR envelope generator.

Use it to process those lumpy CVs you get from your midi-CV convertor. Remove that zippering to create smooth changes over time.

Use it also to process the output of an envelope follower to create more controlled filter sweeps when used with a VCF.

You have a choice of linear or 'logarithmic' output slopes, controlled by a simple switch.

The logarithmic output allows for longish times of lag to be set up easily, roughly 8 seconds maximum lag time. The output moves quickly at first then slows to reach the final value.

In linear mode, the output rises or falls in a straight line. It is classified in volts per second, as opposed to just time. The amount of time it takes depends on the front panel pots' positions AND the voltage change on the input. Generally, for small changes in voltage the linear output will appear to move quicker than its 'log' equivalent. The linear mode is very accurate and can be used to create linear portamento.

In addition to the LAG portion there is a 3-way mult which is normalled to the output of the Lag Processor. this allows you to send your Lagged CV to 3 different destinations (2 Oscillators and a Filter Cutoff control for example). When you have nothing inserted at the input of the Little Lag, the 3-way mult at the output may be used as a stand alone mult.

The construstion of this module is very nice. The panel is 6160 Aluminum, with silk-screened ORIGINAL graphics. There is only ONE other one like this"
