MIDI Effects
Context Gate
Poly Mode
Polyphony Gate
Allows you to filter MIDI according to the number of pressed keys within a given
key range. This can be used independently or in conjunction with the Chord Gate
function.
● The Key Range Limit sliders set the key range. Only notes within this range
are let through.
● The Minimum Polyphony value field allows you to specify the minimum
number of notes required to open the gate.
Chord Gate
If Chord Gate is activated, only notes in recognized chords are let through. Two
Recognition modes are available: Simple and Normal.
● In Simple mode, all standard chords (major/minor/b5/dim/sus/maj7 etc.) are
recognized.
● Normal mode takes more tensions into account.
Mono Mode
Channel Gate
If this is activated, only single note events of the specified MIDI channel are let
through. This can be used with MIDI controllers that can send MIDI on several
channels simultaneously, for example, guitar controllers which send data for each
string over a separate channel.
● You can set Mono Channel to a specific channel (1 to 16), or to Any, that is, no
channel gating.
Velocity Gate
This can be used independently or in conjunction with the Channel Gate function.
Notes are played back until another note within the set range is played.
● The Key Range Limit sliders set the key range. Only notes within this range
are let through.
● Notes below the Minimum Velocity threshold value are gated.
Auto Gate Time
If there is no input activity, you can specify the time, after which note-off messages
are sent for the notes that are playing.
Panic Reset
Sends an “All Notes Off” message over all channels, in case of hanging notes.
Learn Reset
If this is activated, you can specify a reset trigger event via MIDI. Whenever this
specific MIDI event is sent, it triggers an “All Notes Off” message. When you have set
the reset event, deactivate the Learn Reset button.
