G8 is described as "the perfect digital noise gate that all
the analogue ones were trying to model".
The Attack and Decay parameters set the exact amount of time needed for the
gate to transition from fully closed to fully open, respectively. This means the
rate of gain change is also affected by the Range control. For example: with the
default settings of 24dB range and 1ms attack the gate will open at a rate of
24dB/ms. If you increase the Range to the maximum 90dB the gate will still reach
unity after precisely 1ms, and therefore the gain increases at the much faster
rate of 90dB/ms. This allows precisely calibrated clicks to be added to the
start of kick drums (for example).
The Hold parameter is implemented before the Attack smoothing, so the gate
will continue to open during the Hold stage if necessary. This allows drum
sounds to be 'softened' by using slower Attack times.
Features:
- Large Threshold knob with integrated sidechain level and gain reduction metering.
- Range control to set the amount of gain reduction applied.
- Hysteresis control to prevent "chattering" effects during the decay of a note.
- Fast and accurate envelopes, with Hold parameter.
- High and low pass filters for the sidechain.
- External sidechain inputs.
