Soft Clip

If this button is activated, Maximizer starts limiting or clipping the signal softly. At the

same time, harmonics are generated, adding a warm, tube-like characteristic to the

audio material.

MIDI Gate

This plug-in gates audio signals. The gate is triggered by MIDI notes.

Gating, in its fundamental form, silences audio signals below a set threshold. If a signal rises

above the set level, the gate opens to let the signal through. Signals below the set level are

silenced. MIDI Gate, however, is not triggered by threshold levels, but MIDI notes. Therefore, it

needs both audio and MIDI data to function.

Attack (0 to 500 ms)

Sets the time after which the gate opens when it is triggered.

Hold

Determines how long the gate remains open after a note-on or note-off message.

The Hold Mode settings are taken into account.

Release (0 to 3000 ms)

Sets the time after which the gate closes after the set Hold time.

Note To Attack

Determines to which extent the velocity values of the MIDI notes affect the attack

time. The higher the value, the more the attack time increases with high note

velocities. Negative values result in shorter attack times with high velocities. If you do

not want to use this parameter, set it to 0.

Note To Release

Determines to which extent the velocity values of the MIDI notes affect the release

time. The higher the value, the more the release time increases. If you do not want to

use this parameter, set it to 0.

Velocity To VCA

Controls to which extent the velocity values of the MIDI notes determine the output

volume. At a value of 127, the volume is controlled entirely by the velocity values, and

at a value of 0, the velocities have no effect on the volume.
