Signal Path
Gator
The Gator effect is a step-controlled audio gate that can be used to create rhythmic,
stuttering and pulsing effects. The effect is unique in that it separates the input signal into
left and right components, each of which can be gated independently.
The Gator effect contains three controls:
Smooth: The Smooth control sets the envelope shape of the gate for each
step value. A lower setting of the Smooth control creates a sharper
envelope shape that produces a more pronounced gating effect.
Increasing the value of the control “smooths” the envelope creating a
more pulsing, tremolo-like sound.
Steps: The Steps control consists of two rows of sixteen “buttons”, one for
each rhythmic step of the pattern. When a button is on, the signal is
passed through the effect. Alternately, when a button is off, the signal
is gated. The duration of each step depends on the setting used in
the Tempo control (described below).
Tempo: The Tempo control sets the duration of each step. For example, a
setting of 1/16 means that each pattern step is equivalent to a 16th
note. Note that the overall tempo at which the Gator effect operates
is set in the host software.
