Wow I was initially confused as to how you were getting to the "why are low pass gates ace?" question. When you described the decay of a cymbal it all snapped into place like the big reveal at the end of a well crafted murder mystery. That's the mark of a great teacher.
This is by far the most understandable and clear explanation of what a LPG is and how it functions. I wish you would have added a example of the sound with separate VCA and VCF for comparison and how it would have changed the characteristics in the spectrogram. Thank you very much!
This sparked my interest in LPGs (specifically in using them), and the spectrogram reading tute just iced the cake, thank you so much for the clear & concise explanation! I’m going to go and read out some different waveforms on one of the spectrograms I have owned for some time, but never knew (until now!) how to read. Many thanks, once again..!
15:00 Your 1 octave up (double frequency) triangle wave plot has its fundamental lining up with the 1st harmonic of the previous lower pitch triangle wave. The harmonics of a triangle wave are ODD multiples of the fundamental, 3x 5x 7x etc, not 2x as in your plot.
Your demonstration just gave me a fascinating idea... years ago there was a spectrogram program that allowed me to export a sound as an image, edit it and import it back. I'm gonna do that but apply the mosaic filter in photoshop. Thanks for the idea!
I came for the LPG and stayed for the lesson on spectrograms. Thank you for the fantastic explanation.
Wonderful, clear explanation. Thanks for all the work you put into this.

Thank you, this was definitely the most useful thing I found to understand LPGs!

Your choice of topics definitely reflects a deep understanding. Keep err coming.

Great video! Very informative, not just about low pass gates but also about the percussive synthesis in general!
The learning one can do on UA-cam always surprises me. Thanks so much for a great lesson 👏👏
Great, i am just starting out with modular synthesis. Your videos are very enlightening!

Very nice explanation and great examples! Now I get it! Thanks! :)
Very nicely explained, thanks for the video.
Thanks for this information!!
Very well constructed tutorial, great!!
Thank you very mach for lesson)
Thank you, much appreciated!
Excellent video
The frog block looked like a kiwi popsicle 😝

how'd it go?
Very interesting, thank you!
This one is great!!!
I enjoy your videos.... Keep up the good work yo!
this is awesome keep it up
Thank you 🙏 😊
What module is that in the top right?
A Make Noise RxMx
But why do they call them "woody" ?
