Wire Grind Noise Gate Plus v1.3

1. until the maximum is reached This envelope has been modeled off of an analog synthesizer attack envelope 2 OFF The gate opens gradually creating a smooth volume swell This envelope may be more perceptually pleasing when using longer attack times Channel Linking This option provides a choice of two processing modes 1 ON All control signal channels are analyzed together and the same operations are performed on each output channel 2 OFF All control signal channels are analyzed separately and separate operations are performed on each output channel Ducking This option provides a choice of two gating modes 1 ON The gate releases when the input level is above the threshold and it attacks when the input level is below the threshold This is often referred to as ducking 2 OFF The gate attacks when the input level is above the threshold and it releases when the input level is below the threshold This is the standard operation for a traditional noise gate Side Chain The item labeled Side Chain in the GUI monitors the state of the side chain feature It is red when the side chain is active and gray when the side chain is inactive Side chaining is enabled automatically whenever the auxiliary input is active Likewise when the auxiliary input becomes inactive Noise Gate Plus automatically resumes normal operation Hysteresis The signal level at which the gate closes may set lower than the level at which it opens2. Hysteresis is set as the number of dBs below the threshold Range When the gate closes the signal level falls to the level set by this control The default is for the gate to close completely 120 dB but sometimes it is desirable or more natural sounding to have some of the input signal pass through Max Gate Min Gate Meters Monitor the state of the gates When the gate opens the meter lights up and when it closes the meter goes dark There is one meter for the gate that is most open labeled as Max Gate and another meter for the gate that is most closed labeled as Min Gate The second meter is locked to the first when the Channel Linking is set to ON Attack Delay Delays the onset of the attack Early Release This truncates notes or shortens them This control causes the gate to release after a certain amount of time and thus close sooner that it would otherwise Hold Closed This forces the gate to stay closed In other words when the gate closes it remains that way for a given amount of time Beat Skip This feature causes notes to be muting out entirely It is set as a percentage of the envelopes which will be muted It is triggered in a statistically random fashion 6 Footnotes 1 Feature is only supported in the VST3 version of Noise Gate Plus 2 Channel format may be limited by either your host application or your computer hardware
