Noise Gate
The Noise Gate effect implements a noise gate. It takes an open threshold and a close threshold.
open determines the threshold at which the gate should open.
close determines the threshold at which the gate should close.
level describes the ratio to multiply the signal by, from 0 to 1.
ttg describes the time it takes for the gate to fully close, in seconds.
| Attribute | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|
| open | Opening threshold (0-1) | 0.2 |
| close | Closing threshold (0-1) | 0.15 |
| level | Level to multiply signal by (0-1) | 0.1 |
| ttg | Time to gate, in seconds | 0.1 |
The signal is transmitted if the gate is open. The gate opens when the amplitude rises above the open threshold and stays open until it falls below the close threshold. When the signal falls below the close threshold, it will fade to the specified level.
