GateIt

A kind of gate plugin for LV2, VST3, CLAP or as a standalone jack application - compiled for Linux. I'm using the Distrho Plugin Framework so it should be possible to compile it for Mac or Win. This is a kind of gate which is triggerd by an threshhold and then runs through a hold, decay and wait cycle and can only be triggered again afterwards. I used it to mange unmanageable bass drums ;-)

Compiled versions (64 bit) are in the bin directory.

How it works

• The gate is open as long as the threshold is not reached.

• If the threshold is reached (one sample graeter than the threshold and the the next sample smaller than the first ), the 'hold' phase begins (0-1000 msec) - a really simple detection. I might change this.

• after the hold phase, the decay phase starts (0-1000 msec) the volums is lowerd to zero continuesly during that time

• after the decay the wait phase start. The volume during that phase is zero.

• after the hold phase, the gate is completely open and listens for a next threshold overshoot.

• Be sure to have at least one of the hold or decay controllers moved to soemwhat above zero, otherwise the cycle does not start

• The LEDs shows the current phase (Threshold stays lit until the full cycle has finished ), hold, decay and wait are only lit during each of these steps.

This shows the steps in an gate cycle.
