Gate
A gate is a threshold driven gain reduction process normally used to reduce the level of, or silence, a signal when it
falls below the threshold. The gate section includes an assignable side-chain input with filters, a key signal solo func -
tion, and a ducking mode.
Gate / DeEsser Selection
Select either the GATE or DeEsser function for the first dynamics process.
The top line of dynamics controls adapt to this selection.
Gate Threshold Set
Adjust the gate threshold level.
Gate In
Include the Gate in the dynamics signal path.
When Gate In is selected, the word 'GATE' is highlighted in the touch screen dynamics section.
Gate Attack Time
Adjust the attack time of the Gate.
Gate Duck Function
Select the Gate DUCK mode.
DUCK mode in inverse gate mode which reduces level when the side chain input EXCEEDS the threshold. This can
be used for 'ducking' a music bed under a DJ vocal, for instance.
