of a
DUCK
) for a very short time. This can sound unnatural, especially if the
GATE
closes abruptly.
There are two parameters which you can adjust,
HOLD
and
RELEASE
. By setting a long
HOLD
time,
the gate can be kept open even after the signal has dropped below the threshold. The
RELEASE
parameter specifies the length of time it takes for the gate to close, causing the signal to gradually
cut off.
Other triggers
The signal level is not the only way to trigger a duck/gate. The
[TRIGGER]
key or a footswitch
connected to the TRIGGER Footswitch Jack on the back panel, or a MIDI Note On (for
GATE
) or
Note Off (for
DUCK
) message can also be used. The
HOLD
and
RELEASE
parameters work with any
trigger.
Re-trigger
If the
DUCK
/
GATE
is continuously triggered by any of the other sources, it may be kept from
closing. As the
GATE
responds to a trigger source and will open for the set
HOLD
time, a trigger
received while the
GATE
is open will act as a "re-trigger", causing the
GATE
to remain open.
