Gate
This shuts off the signal. It also provides the characteristic
effect in gated reverb, which cuts off reverb sounds while
they are still being produced, ducking reverb, and other such
effects.
Gate (Gate Switch)
Value: Off, On
This turns on and off the gate function that cuts the
output of the reverb sound based on the volume of the
source sound.
• The effect block switch (press [F5](Fx On/Off) to change) is
shared with the Reverb block. If you want to turn off only
the Gate, turn the Gate switch Off.

ducking reverb-type effect. Stop the reverb sound
only when input loud sound so that prevent the
play sound become unclear.
