Introduction
Natural Gate has been designed to generate a signature response evocative of the acoustics of the
natural world. Think of how the plucking of a string or the beating of a drum head produces organic
sounds we are all intimately familiar with, sounds that resonate with us, they feel right.
To obtain these qualities, we started with a blank slate and developed an instrument with its own
unique character. A character unhampered by the conventions of traditional circuits and devices.
Natural Gate's fully adjustable (and voltage-controllable) decay alters the level of damping of the
object you hit - from very short highly damped events to vibrations that ring out for several seconds.
The module's innovative circuitry ensures the perfect decay shape at any decay setting.
W h at you hit matters just as importantly; the MATERIAL switch provides a selection of three material
characteristics further increasing the flexibility of the instrument.
The HIT input was carefully designed to ensure that any signal you send in will correctly drive Natural
Gate's envelopes. The CTRL input allows you to open the gate in any way you see fit and when
combined with HIT, natural dynamics are realised.
Natural Gate was painstakingly designed and tuned by many pairs of seasoned ears. Natural Gate
defines a new paradigm of how the LPG can be experienced and used, thus opening a portal for
dialing in new discoveries.
