2 Gate
The Gate programs provide a fairly constant sound with no decay until the reverb is cut off abruptly.
These programs work well on percussion — particularly on snare and toms, but be sure to experiment
with other sound sources as well.
* Note that audio is muted briefly when Time is altered with Adjust.
Gated reverbs were originally created by feeding a reverb, such as a metal plate, through an analog
gate device. The decay time was set to instant, and the hold time varied the duration of the sound.
