My experiments looking for the simplest, cheapest VCA possible to pair with my ESP32 envelope generator code...

ESP32 DAC Envelope Generator – Part 2

Following on the back of my ESP32 DAC Envelope Generator and in particular my note at the start that it was essentially the code algorithm and none of the electronics that might make it useful…

iirc, that's called an LPG, not a VCA

@sitka Probably. I think its essentially a voltage controlled attenuator? I know its not an amplifier

I'm really after the simplest VCA-like effect :)

I didn't really test it myself, but I've heard that low pass gates also slightly cut the higher frequincies toguther with the level, which in some cases sounds even better than regular VCA :)
