Description: A fast gate with a lookahead delay that prevents chopping-off of attack transients.
Notes: Set the attenuation for the desired gating level. Minimize chatter by setting the hysteresis and
the hold time. The amount of hysteresis sets the dB difference between the (attack) threshold and the
release threshold. The hold time is the duration for which the source level must remain below the
threshold before the gate closes.
I/O Characteristics: Stereo-in, stereo-out
