Gate

The Gate cuts any part of the input signal which falls below the input threshold. This can be
used to rhythmically chop the signal and make it stutter or sound staccato.
Description
This value determines the threshold at which the Compressor starts to
work.
The amount of compression effect, sometimes called Ratio in typical appli-
cations.
This parameter defines how the Compressor starts to work: with a low set-
ting, the transition into compression is soft, whereas with a high setting,
the Compressor abruptly starts to work once the threshold is reached.
Use Attack to adjust how fast the Compressor reacts on the incoming sig-
nal: the more you dial it to the right, the slower it will react. Longer Attack
times let more transients through.
The time the compressor will take to stop compressing after the input sig-
nal falls below the threshold. With longer release times it takes more time
to get back to normal.
Use Gain control to adjust the volume of the resulting signal; sometimes
called "make-up gain" as it can be used to compensate for any reduction
in the signal induced by the settings above.
