Shakmat Modular Centaur's Gates Eurorack Dual Multi-mode Filter/LPG/VCA Module

A flexible and great-sounding filter/LPG/VCA combo that's equally adept at East Coast-style subtractive synthesis and West Coast-style pinged 'Buchla bongo' patches.

Centaur’s Gates is a dual multi-type gate with a fully analogue signal path. Each of its two channels can take many forms: a smooth and warm two-pole filter, a ready-to-ping low-pass gate, a VCA with distorting feedback loop, or an aggressive filter reminiscent of the unfamous Korg MS20. Both versions of the filter are available in three modes (low-pass, band-pass and high-pass), meaning eight modes are available in total.

The extended sonic palette the Centaur’s Gates delivers is not its only asset as the module includes handy features such as serial/parallel routing, vactrol analog emulation, control link, variable input gain with drive, Select Bus compatibility, and last but not least, clickless switching for channels type selection via cv.
