GATE hyst on/off The gate hysteresis function provides an offset between the un-mute and mute
thresholds. So the gate will remain open (un-muted) at a level slightly lower
than the one required to open it in order to avoid effects such as chattering.

There are two different views for the vintage expander/gate view; one of them
(below left) is displayed when pressing the EXP GATE hardware key, and the
other one (below right) when pressing

