Gate

About

Gate is a dynamics plugin by Kilohearts. Gate is a gating tool that cuts signal below a set volume threshold, and it can also be reversed to attenuate the signal while it is open. It can remove low hum and noise from a signal, or shorten reverb tails. Its attenuation, open and close times, and minimum open time can all be set.

What it sounds like

A sidechain input can drive the gate, so a lead sound is lowered whenever the kick hits.

Features

• Hysteresis range before closing
• Attack time to fully open
• Optional 5ms look-ahead
