program Context Gate, for example, to allow only those notes to pass the gate that are part
of a four-note chord. During your performance you would then play a four-note chord every
time that you want to trigger the VST instrument. The instrument plays until the Auto Gate
Time is reached and fades out. For more complex performances this can be combined with an
arpeggiator, without having to use external pedals to trigger the effect.
Mono Mode
In this mode you could use Context Gate to trigger variations played with a drum machine/
VST instrument. To do this, you need a guitar-to-MIDI converter: You could then filter the MIDI
channel using the Input Transformer (optional) and program the Context Gate to allow only
certain notes on your guitar to pass the gate (for example, beginning at the 12th band). When
you now play one of these notes, the note-off command is not send out and the corresponding
note sounds until the note is played again, a new note is let through, or the Auto Gate Time is
reached. This way you can trigger lots of different effects or notes using the high notes on you
guitar without having to use an additional MIDI instrument.

This generic control panel affects the density of the notes being played from or through the
track. If this is set to 100 %, the notes are not affected. Density settings below 100 % randomly
filter out or mute notes. Settings above 100 % randomly add notes that were played before.
MIDI Control
This generic control panel allows you to select up to 8 different MIDI controller types and set
values for these. You can then use the plug-in as a control panel to adjust the sound of a MIDI
instrument from within your host application.
