The Ladder is a powerful and fantastic sound sculpting tool that allows for creative and unique sound shifting and shaping. By design, The Ladder sports the smoothest all analog Low Pass and High Pass filter section. Simply adjust the Cutoff knob to add vibe, warmth or tonal adjustment. Choose LP to add analog vibe and warmth to a sound or select HP for sweetening and relieving the heft of a sound.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eThe Envelope section of The Ladder features many advanced adjustments. The Variable Attack and Release controls allow you to perfectly dial in the behavior of The Ladder's envelope section. Use these controls to open and close the envelope as fast as lightning, or slow as molasses. Use the Amount control in Positive or Negative mode for mild to extreme sound shaping and manipulation. From slight timbral excitement and voicing to extreme compression-like behavior. Even reversed filter action is achievable! The Resonance control used with The Ladder’s other features allows for the creation of sweet, dynamic and even speech like behavior. Use it to tune The Ladder to a sound source… or not. You can excite or accentuate specific frequencies as well as create completely new unique and wild sounds. The Ladder's Resonance control will push the unit into self-oscillation. This can be used for effect if desired.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eThe 2Pole\/4Pole switch allows you to select how aggressive your filter slope is. 2 pole is equal to 12db per octave which is smooth and sweet, while 4 pole is 24db per octave which is hard and aggressive.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMoog Music’s first 500 series module\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBased on Bob Moog's original ladder filter designs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdvanced envelope section with multiple control options\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2Pole\/4Pole switch allows aggressive filter slope selections\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eResonance control used with other features for dynamic and speech like behavior\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHard wire Bypass for totally transparent routing and A\/B comparison\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAudio I\/O: Balanced line level via 500 rack. +19dBµ to -16dBµ input accepted.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFilter Type: 2 and 4 pole dynamic low-pass \u0026amp; high-pass transistor Ladder Filter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvelope Type: RMS detector, bi-polar with variable attack \u0026amp; release\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAttack time: Better than 250µS to 2.0 seconds depending on program material and level.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRelease time: Better than 150mS to 2.0S depending on program material and level.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvelope Control: Positive and Negative Modulation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInput Impedance: Nominally 24KΩ balanced differential, 12KΩ unbalanced single ended.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: Nominally 50Ω  differential 25Ω single ended.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMax.
