Gate

A gate is a threshold driven gain reduction process normally used to reduce the level of, or silence, a signal when it
falls below the threshold. The gate section includes an assignable side-chain input with filters, a key signal solo func-
tion, and a ducking mode.

The top line of dynamics controls adapt to this selection.
When Gate In is selected, the word 'GATE' is highlighted
in the touch screen dynamics section.
DUCK mode in inverse gate mode which reduces level
when the side chain input EXCEEDS the threshold. This
can be used for 'ducking' a music bed under a DJ vocal,
for instance.
This is the time an activated gate will remain fully closed,
before entering the 'release' phase.
