Key Switch:

  The Key switch determines which input the gate will use for it's  

control signal. If the Key switch is up the gate circuit uses the signal on the input  
as it's trigger source.  If the Key switch is down the gate circuit will use an input applied to 
the Bantam TT jack on the front panel (EXT) as it's trigger source. 

 
Rel Rotary:

  

Release

 time from 0.1 seconds to 2 seconds.  This controls the period of time 

between when the signal falls below the gate threshold and the gate releasing the signal. 

 
Gate Switch:

 Switching the gate switch down activates the gate circuit.  This illuminates 

the 20 (Red) LED to show the gate is active. 

 
EXT:

 This connector is a TT Bantam connector (6.35mm)  An external trigger source can 

be sent to this connector (such as a snare input), and if the 

Key 

switch is down the gate 

circuit will be triggered by this. 

 
Gain:

 Rotary control.  This controls the 

make-up gain

 of the module.  As compression 

often attenuates the signal, make-up gain is needed to bring the signal level back up 
again.
