NOISE GATE
The Noise Gate is a device to eliminate noises while
you are not playing. If the input tone signal goes
down below a certain level (= "Threshold Level"),
this automatically "close"s the gate and gets silent,
to cut the noise.
However, this sometimes could be a problem. This
happens when a sound signal with a slow attack or
release is put in, for example, when such an Effector
as Slow Gear or Delay is connected to the Effect
Loop of this keyboard. The sound may suddenly
come out or be cut off all of a sudden.
In such a case, you must always "open" the gate to
pass all signals.
