ALLIGATOR TRIPLE FILTERED GATE
911
Gate and Amp Envelope
Manual Gate Trig buttons
Clicking one of the Manual Trig buttons will open the corresponding gate. It will remain open for as long as you keep
the mouse button pressed. However, the sound may fade out slowly or quickly depending on the amplitude envelope
settings.
While the gate is held open manually, it won’t be affected by the built-in pattern. This means you can use the buttons
to override the pattern, holding a channel open (if Amp Env Decay is long) or muting it (if Amp Env Decay is short).
Gate indicators
These light up when the gates are open.
Amp Env Attack
When a gate is opened, the Amplitude Envelope is triggered. This controls the input level to the corresponding filter.
Amp Env Attack sets how long it takes for the level to reach its maximum after the gate opens. Normally, this is kept
at a low value for quick, snappy attacks. Raising the Attack parameter will make the notes fade in, blurring the pat-
terns.
Amp Env Decay
Directly after the attack phase, the input level will fade down to zero again. The time this takes is set with the Amp
Env Decay parameter. Setting the Decay knob to its maximum value will set the decay time to infinity, which will result
in a maximum “sustain” level. Lowering the Decay setting will make the pattern notes shorter.
Amp Env Release
This determines how quickly the sound fades out after the gate is closed. If you raise this setting, the sound will never
fade out completely between gates, and the pattern will become blurred and more pad-like.
