Steady State Fate Steady State Gate Stereo Field

The Steady State Gate Stereo Field is a true stereo low-pass gate with stereo width control as well as a few additional features. The SSGSF is not just a stereo version of the original, as all aspects of the design have been tuned to new specs.

This version includes a CV/GATE input in addition to the EXCITE control, to accommodate gates, envelopes, etc, to ping the lpg. Both inputs can be used simultaneously to produce more complex, rhythmic excitation patterns.

Stereo processing is achieved via a special mid-side signal chain, designed to provide stereo animation and positioning effects for stereo sources, as well as tone control and psychoacoustic panning effects for mono sources. These effects are manipulated via the FIELD control, NEAR/FAR switch, and associated CV input.

Timbre circuits have been altered, including a new wave folder response. QAOS can now be switched in/out for any of the TIMBRE modes, including when QAOS mode is selected, providing a clean output option.

• Width: 10HP
• Depth: 23mm
• Power: 120mA @ +12V / 120mA @ -12V

Features:

• 6db/Oct Bandpass, 6dB/Oct Lowpass and 12dB/Oct Lowpass Filter Modes
• Manual Frequency Cutoff Control and CV Input
• Manual Resonance (Q-FACTOR) Control and CV Input
• Three Timbre Modifying Circuits - Manual Control and CV Input.
• Wave Folder
• Soft Saturation Overdrive
• QAOS (Resonance Character Modifier)
• Manual and Voltage Controlled Decay Envelope tailored to Vactrol LPG response curve.
• Envelope output for self patching and controlling external modules
• EXCITE Input conditions gates and triggers and external envelopes to 'pluck' the Low Pass gate
• EXCITE is input level sensitive to control the dynamics and emphasis of plucking effects.
• Sensitive to Envelope attack up to about 50mS
• The Steady State Gate can also be used as a standalone VCF or as a stand alone VCA with high end roll off - typical of most traditional Low pass gates. With or without Timbre modifiers in play.
