Looking for a GOOD Gate


Recommended Posts

Hi Musicmakers,

 

Im looking for a good dxi/vsti - gate, i have tried several but they dont seem to be what im looking for. The gate should be controllable via an external key (ie an audio track that triggers the envelope). The gates key should also be eq-able, and most of all the evelopes shold be realy realy fast.......If there is such a gate out there then please let me know. :)

you should search for "Advanced Midi Gater". it's freeware and triggered by midi-notes fed to it, that way you are in control of how long the actual gating is (funky 1/32 notes can thus easily also be added). it has an envelope and a filter also.

A gate is a "BLACK BOX" that can procces any audio signal like a ADSR-envelope. Sort of like a door that

lets the signal through or not.

 

The envelope can be triggerd in different ways:

 

1. the audio signal itself triggers the envelope.

This is done by adjusting the Threshhold to the level you want the envelope to be triggerd.

this is especialy good for gettig rid of noise, say on vocal trax.

 

2. An external audio signal triggers the envelope.

Exaple: a sampled breake beat is used to trigger the envelope (this signal is not heard),

and a voval is played through the gate. By now adjusting the threshhold so that the kik

and the snare of the break trigger the gate, the vocal is only then heard when the kik

and the snare are played.

 

3. A midi signal triggers the gate. this is similar to 2,

the difference being that no threshhold needs to be adjusted.

 

hope this explination helps you.

Do you own Reaktor? There are a bunch of user-created ensembles for this. The one I use is called "Trance Gate". It has a step sequencer interface and tracks to the songs tempo. You use it as an insert effect.
