MICRO
GATE'cont'd
not
so
long
as to spill over onto
the
next
drum
beat.
Vary
the delay
control
for
a smoother
release
if necessary.
For
an even
more
striking effect,
insert
a
MICRO LIMITER between the
reverb and
the
MICRO
GATE. See
figure 17
The limiter
should be set
for maximum
"punch"
settings
with
a
high
degree of
limiting
(at
least the
first red LED
should
light).
Set
the
release time starting at about
halfway. The object
here is
to
set the
release
time
(rate
control) as
long
as
necessary to
keep
the
reverb
"tail"
smooth.
MICRO GATE using the trigger
function for
gated
reverb
Another way
to achieve a
gated
instrument sound
(like
a snare
drum)
with a
minimum
of
gate
chatter
is
to
feed
the trigger
input
of
the
gate
with
the dry signal of the
instrument while
gating
the
reverb in
the above
fashion. This
assures the ultimate
in
chatter-
free
operation as the
rate is now
controlled
by the envelope of
the
instrument itself.
