“No power needed! Each Vactrol Gate has 1 CV Input (gate, envelope, LFO, etc.), 1 Audio Input and 1 Audio Output. the CV Input hits the Vactrol LED, allowing audio to pass through. In addition, there is a simple Low Pass Filter applied to the Audio Input with an Amount (Cutoff) knob. As this is a passive circuit, it will not give you full cutoff control, but it does allow the taming of harsh wave shapes. The LPF is simply the same concept as a guitar’s ‘tone’ control. Also, there is an LED at the CV Input for quick visual reference and LED light action!

As this is a passive circuit, it is advisable to use a Buffered Multiple before the Audio Input to maintain amplitude.”

"The filter is one of it's greatest qualities, similar to Moog. It's sine wave is pretty amazing as well and can be a saw and or mixed with a pulse width adjustable square. Those two and another noise volume give you a full sound not to mention adjustable and lfo modulated pulse width. There's an adsr for the filter and another for the vca and the a repeat function of the vca adsr is very unique and can bee seen in the demonstration video. Too much to mention with such a little number of knobs and buttons..."

[DEMO] Nord Funk Jam - Nord Electro 4D and Nord Lead 2X

Published on Mar 15, 2015 Thiago Gomes

"Here, I'm playing a "Fm" funky jam using these great keys: Nord Lead 2X (with a delay pedal) and Nord Electro 4D.
My aim here is to demonstrate the power of each keyboard: Lead 2X to amazing solos and effects and Electro 4D to play fantastic simulations of Rhodes, Hammond and Clavinet."

"This is a time lapse from the Denver Synth Meet held on March 14th 2015. It was sponsored by Ninstrument, WMD, and Audio Damage. It was great to see everyone there!

I did the 'Intro to Modular Synthesizers' class near the end and there were live performances in the evening."
