Control Input
GateRe-
lease
Type Default Value
float32 100.00
Description: This is the release time (in milliseconds) of the gate.
The longer this time is, the longer the gate will remain open after the
input signal has fallen below the threshold level.
GateHold
Type Default Value
float32 200.00
Description: This is the hold time (in milliseconds) of the gate.
Once the envelope of the audio signal in question falls below the
specified threshold, gate will activate after the hold time has
elapsed.
GateOut-
Gain
Type Default Value
float32 1.0
Description: This sets the linear gain factor for the output of the
gate module. This gain is applied even if the gate is not enabled.
ExEnable
Type Default Value
boolean False
Description: This control determines whether the signal will be
expanded (True) or passed through (False).
ExSideEn-
able
Type Default Value
Boolean False
Description: This control determines whether the envelope, with
which the expander performs its gain control logic, will be based on
the signal from SideIn (True) or InSignal (False).
Control Input
ExThresh-
old
Type Default Value
float32 -50.00
Description: Any signal content below this level is expanded. Val-
ues are in dB.
ExRatio
Type Default Value
float32 0.5
Description: The Input to Output ratio applied once the input signal
level falls below the expander threshold. For instance, with a ratio of
0.5 (1:2) if the input signal is below the threshold by 1 dB, the
output will be below the threshold by 2 dB. Setting the ratio to a
value greater than 1 will make the expander an ‘upward expander’.
Usable ranges for upward expanders are not much greater than 1 as
they tend to boost signals dramatically.
ExRelease
Type Default Value
float32 100.00
Description: This is the release time (in milliseconds) of the
expander. The longer this time is the longer it will take the expander
to respond to falling signal levels.
ExAttack
Type Default Value
float32 25.0
Description: This is the attack time (in milliseconds) of the
expander. The longer this time is the longer it will take the expander
to respond to rising signal levels.
