Attenulag is a basic but indispensable through-hole synthesizer necessity designed and assembled in-house by our fine feathered friends at Boomstar. With it, you can augment efficiency and expressiveness starting with Boomstar’s handy R (Router) and ascending to its larger and more complex ATTENULAG companion for voltage-controlled switching, gliding, combining and amplitude limiting.

ATTENULAG is a multi-purpose device. The attenuators reduce level, audio or CV when the switch is set to off. With the switch up, the audio/signal passes through at full level. The inputs are linked together: patching into channel 1 drives both attenuators; patching into channel 2 breaks the link.

The two lag circuits provide a handy CV mult/hub for oscillator and filter tracking and are linked together: if you patch into channel 1 only, the outputs of both channels are drive; patching into channel 2 breaks the link and they become two separate CV mult/lag circuits.

Four Pots
ATTENUATE 1, ATTENUATE 2, LAG TIME 1, LAG TIME 2.

Four Switches
OFF: the top two handle attenuation duties; the bottom are wired to lag time.

Ten Patch Points
ATTENUATE 1: IN, OUT; LAG TIME 1: IN, OUT 1A, OUT 1B, OUT 1C; ATTENUATE 2: IN, OUT; LAG TIME 2: IN, OUT 2A, OUT 2B, OUT 2C
