The Vactrol LP filter module is a passive circuit which filters a signal entering “IN” and leaving “OUT” by the action of a CV signal acting on a low-pass filter, via a “vactrol”.The attenuator acts on the CV IN signal.
A selector allows you to choose between standalone (“default”) mode with a filter setting I defined and “user” mode.The “user” mode is interesting because it allows you to test different capacitors (3 different values are supplied with the module) to refine your choice of low-pass filter. Simply insert a capacitor of your choice into the slot provided for this purpose. Of course, you can test any values you want 🙂Note that this selector also allows you to listen to the signal without a filter (if no capacitor is inserted).
An RGB LED indicates the status of the CV IN signal. This LED influences the CV IN signal, especially at higher voltages/octaves.You can disable the jumper on the back of the module or keep this setting to take advantage of this signal instability.
