The included effect plug-ins
What to do next depends on whether you are using live or
recorded audio and whether you are using real-time or re-
corded MIDI. We will assume for the purposes of this
manual that you are using recorded audio, and play the
MIDI in real-time.
Make sure the MIDI track is selected and start playback.
5. Now play a few notes on your MIDI keyboard.
As you can hear, the audio track material is affected by what you play on
your MIDI keyboard.
The following MIDI Gate parameters are available:
Filter plug-ins
This section contains descriptions of the plug-ins in the
“Filter” category.
StepFilter
StepFilter is a pattern-controlled multimode filter that can
create rhythmic, pulsating filter effects.
General operation
StepFilter can produce two simultaneous 16-step pat-
terns for the filter cutoff and resonance parameters, syn-
chronized to the sequencer tempo.
Setting step values
• Setting step values is done by clicking in the pattern
grid windows.
• Individual step entries can be freely dragged up or
down the vertical axis, or directly set by clicking in an
empty grid box. By click-dragging left or right, consecutive
step entries will be set to the pointer position.
Setting filter cutoff values in the grid window.
Parameter Description
Attack This is used for determining how long it should take for
the Gate to open after receiving a signal that triggers it.
Hold Regulates how long the Gate remains open after a Note
On or Note Off message (see Hold Mode below).
Release This determines how long it takes for the Gate to close
(in addition to the value set with the Hold parameter).
Note To Attack The value you specify here determines to which extent
the velocity values of the MIDI notes should affect the At-
tack. The higher the value, the more the Attack time will
increase with high note velocities. Negative values will
give shorter Attack times with high velocities. If you do
not wish to use this parameter, set it to the 0 position.
Note To Release The value you specify here determines to which extent
the velocity values of the MIDI notes should affect the Re-
lease. The higher the value, the more the Release time
will increase. If you do not wish to use this parameter, set
it to the 0 position.
Velocity To VCA This controls to which extent the velocity values of the
MIDI notes determine the output volume. A value of 127
means that the volume is controlled entirely by the veloc-
ity values, while a value of 0 means that velocities will
have no effect on the volume.
Hold Mode Use this switch to set the Hold Mode. In Note-On mode,
the Gate will only remain open for the time set with the
Hold and Release parameters, regardless of the length of
the MIDI note that triggered the Gate. In Note-Off mode
on the other hand, the Gate will remain open for as long
as the MIDI note plays, and then apply the Hold and Re-
lease parameters.
