Gate / Transient Gate / Ducker
While the dynamic section is addressing the gate, all of its controls are enabled except the make up control knob and the MODE and KNEE buttons.
Gate controls for the input channels on the control surface and GUI
Item Control Function
1 ON switch Enables gate in the signal path. When switched o, gate is bypassed. (Both the comp and gate switches can be on at the same time.)
2 listen LED
To aid set up, the gate has a side chain listen that sends the side chain onto a solo bus. The side chain listen LED indicator illuminates to
warn you that soloed material is from the side chain, and not the main channel. For information on the side chain, see “Side chain”.
3
threshold control
knob
Sets signal level at which gate opens. Range is from -50 dB to +25 dB.
4 hold control knob
Minimises chattering in conjunction with internal hysteresis. Once the signal is detected as below threshold, this denes a waiting period
before the gate starts to close. Range is from -0.005s to 2.000s (seconds).
5
Up/down
select buttons
Swap dynamic section control from compressor to gate, and vice versa.
6
ratio/range/
[range]
control knob
On the gate, this control adjusts the amount of gain reduction applied to the signal below threshold. Controls the maximum gain
reduction that is possible. Range is from minus innity (-∞) to zero.
7
attack control
knob
Adjusts time taken for gate to open after an over-threshold signal. Range is from 0.02ms to 20ms (milliseconds).
8
release control
knob
Adjusts time taken for gate to close after programme material falls back below threshold. Range is from -0.005s to 2.000s (seconds).
9 Graph Shows the eects of adjusting the gate’s parameters.
10 Meter The gate meter mimics the gate meter at the top of the input channel’s fast strip (see “Input metering”).
11
Transient Accent
(for Transient
Gate only)
The Transient Accenting can be used to increase tonal shaping eectiveness, reduce gated breathing, reduce delay and reduce resonant
howl-round.
