4 Controls
4.1 The Fat Channel
Gate Range
Sets and Displays the Range of the Gate.
This encoder sets, and the meter
displays, the amount of gain
reduction that the gate will
produce. The range goes from 0 to
-86 dB.
Range control is not available
when using the Expander.
Gate Attack
Sets and Displays the Gate Attack Setting
for the Selected Channel.
This encoder sets, and the meter
displays, the rate at which the gate
opens on the selected channel or
output.- You can set the attack
time from 0.2 to 150 ms.
Power User Tip: A fast attack rate is crucial
for percussive instruments. Slow-rising
signals such as vocals and bass guitar
require a slower attack; with these signals,
a faster attack can cause an audible click.
All gates have the ability to click when
opening but a properly set gate will never
click.

Gate Release
Sets and Displays the Rate at Which the
Gate Closes on the Selected Channel.
This encoder sets, and the meter
displays, the rate at which the gate
for the selected channel closes. The
rate can be set from 0.05 to 2
seconds.
Power User Tip: Gate-release times should
typically be set so that the natural decay
of the instrument or vocal being gated is
not affected. Shorter release times help to
clean up the noise in a signal but may cause
"chattering" with percussive instruments.
Longer release times usually eliminate
chattering and should be set by listening
carefully for the most natural release of the
signal.
