FXAlg #957: Gate ¥ FXAlg #958: Super Gate
Algorithm Reference-156
gate closes or opens after the gate timer has elapsed.
The Signal Dly parameter delays the signal being gated, but does not delay the side chain signal. By delaying the
main signal relative to the side chain signal, you can open the gate just before the main signal rises above threshold.
ItÕs a little like being able to pick up the telephone before it rings!
For Super Gate (not the simpler Gate), filtering can be done on the side chain signal. There are controls for a bass
shelf filter, a treble shelf filter and a parametric (mid) filter. By filtering the side chain, you can control the sensitivity
of the gate to different frequencies. For example, you can have the gate open only if high frequencies are presentÑ
or only if low frequencies are present.

In/Out
When set to ÒInÓ the gate is active; when set to ÒOutÓ the gate is bypassed.
L/R Out Gain
The separate output signal levels in dB for the left and right channels. The output gains
are calculated before the Þnal output panning.
L/R Pan
Both of the gated signal channels can be panned between left and right prior to Þnal
output. This can be useful when the gate is used as a mono effect, and you donÕt want to
hear one of the input channels, but you want your mono output panned to stereo. -100%
is panned to the left, and 100% is panned to the right.
SC Input
The side chain input may be the amplitude of the left L input channel, the right R input
channel, or the sum of the amplitudes of left and right (L+R)/2. You can gate a stereo
signal with itself by using the sum, a mono signal with itself, or you can gate a mono
signal using a second mono signal as the side chain.
