Low Pass Gate functionality

The Dual VCA module has been updated and now includes a pair of voltage controlled low-pass filters that become active when the LPF buttons are engaged. This option effectively converts the VCAs into West Coast style Low Pass Gates.

Also, I'm so used to Adroit modules giving visual feedback about their activity that it felt really strange not to be able to see what this module was doing so I've added a pair of meters that show output levels.

Really looking forward to trying this as I like the old version. Problem is that while I can see the new version in my library when I add or drag it it turns in to the previous version. Very strange ☹️

Sorry about this Rob. I've emailed CA in the hope they sort this out ASAP.

Many thanks Colin. I have started using this a lot and am looking forward to a simple LPG switching option :D

I just tried now.

When I loaded up VM I got prompted about updates to my modules and asking if I wanted to download. I had the old Dual VCA module loaded in the patch, and as soon as the download finished the current patch updated and had the LPG version.

This was on OSX not that I really think it matters. Also got the Dual VCA from the XL bundle, but that also shouldn't matter... but just in case it's working in one place and not another.

Hi everybody,

It's all a bit complicated and opaque. I don't know how CA handle the updates or understand why we sometimes get these problems.

The module is available on its own, as part of Adroit Toolkit and as part of LSSP XL. From something Greg mentioned in an email it appears that these things are all handled separately.

In addition as a developer my view of the Library and modules is different to users, so while everything always looks fine on my machine I can't see what things look like on other people's machines.
