8.1.2 Gate
The Gate on the hardware
The Gate cuts any part of the input signal which falls below the input threshold. This can
be used to rhythmically chop the signal and make it sound more “punchy” or slice up vocal
samples or pads for a stutter effect.
Depth
thrEShold
This value determines the threshold at which the Gate
starts to work. Higher values will let only the loudest parts
of the signal through the Gate.
Time
attaCk
With Attack you can adjust how fast the Gate reacts to the
incoming signal: the more you dial it to the right, the slow-
er it will react, resulting in a softer transition between the
gated and the not gated parts of the signal.
hold
The Hold parameter is used to determine how long the
gated signal is held; lower values will result in a more
„choppy“ effect.
rElEaSE
The time the Gate will take to release the input signal after
it rises above the threshold.
Output
mIx
Mix lets you adjust the amount of the effect in relation to
the dry original audio signal.
