Included Effect Plug-ins

Dynamics Plug-ins

Hold (0 to 2000

ms)

Determines how long the gate remains open after the signal drops below the

threshold level.

Release (10 to 1000

ms or Auto mode)

Sets the time after which the gate closes (after the set Hold time). If Auto

Release is activated, Gate automatically finds the best release setting for the

audio material.

Threshold (-60 to 0

dB)

Determines the level where the gate is activated. Signal levels above the set

threshold trigger the gate to open, and signal levels below the set threshold close

the gate.

State LED

Indicates whether the gate is open (LED lights up in green), closed (LED lights up

in red) or in an intermediate state (LED lights up in yellow).

Analysis (Pure Peak to Pure RMS)

Determines whether the input signal is analyzed according to peak or RMS

values, or a mixture of both. A value of 0 is pure peak and 100 pure RMS. RMS

mode operates using the average power of the audio signal as a basis, whereas

Peak mode operates more on peak levels. As a general guideline, RMS mode

works better on material with few transients such as vocals, and Peak mode

works better for percussive material with a lot of transient peaks.

Range

Adjusts the attenuation of the gate when it is shut. If Range is set to minus

infinite , the gate is completely shut. The higher the value, the higher the level

of the signal that passes through the shut gate.

Live

If this button is activated, the look-ahead feature of the effect is deactivated.

Look-ahead produces more accurate processing, but adds a specific amount

of latency as a trade-off. If Live mode is activated, there is no latency, which is

better for live processing.

Side-Chain Section

Side-Chain

Activates the internal side-chain filter. The input signal can then be shaped

according to the filter parameters. Internal side-chaining is useful for tailoring

how the gate operates.

Monitor

Allows you to monitor the filtered signal.

Center (50 to 20000

Hz)

If the Side-Chain button is activated, this sets the center frequency of the filter.
