Gate

Gate is a noise-gate processor with range control. It features sidechain capability with an internal sidechain filter that

includes variable low cut and high cut. Gating is an extreme form of expansion that severely attenuates the processed

signal or silences it entirely. Use Gate to eliminate unwanted noise or low levels in any Track or to creatively control the

level of a given Track using another Track via the sidechain.

The following parameters are available for the Gate:

Threshold

Open Adjust the signal level threshold at which the Gate switches between closed and open. Variable

from -60 dB to 0 dB.

Hold Adjust the amount of time the gate is held open once the signal has dropped below the Threshold setting.

Variable from 1 ms to 1 s.

Release Adjust the amount of time it takes for the gate to close after the Hold period. Variable from 50 ms to 2 s.

LkA (Look Ahead) Click to engage/disengage the 2 ms Look Ahead function.

Trigger - Active Click to engage sending a trigger when the gate opens. Adjusts the note and velocity to send.

Select the gate as an input on any Instrument Track.

Sidechain Engage by clicking [Sidechain] button at the top of the effect window to allow other sources control the

gate.

Sidechain Channel Display Displays the current sidechain channel source.

Filter Click to activate internal sidechain filtering (for frequency-dependent gating). Uses 48 dB/octave filters.
