Core Effects Descriptions<br />
Level Meter<br />
This meter represents the input signal level in dB, and is in fact the output of the Gate's<br />
envelope follower. Since the envelope follower is driven by the greater of the left or<br />
right channel, this monophonic meter represents the greater of the two input signals.<br />
Gain Reduction Meter<br />
This meter shows the value in dB of the gate control signal which is used to boost or<br />
attenuate the input signal. Its most-rightward maximum value of 0dB represents a<br />
unity gain path through the Gate in its turn-on state. Except for the possibility of the 1<br />
millisecond lookahead latency, the Gate behaves exactly as a straight wire in this<br />
turned-on state. Values less than 0dB represent the amount by which the input signal is<br />
being attenuated as the Gate shuts off.<br />
The most-leftward gain shutoff value achieved by the Gain meter is set by the Max Gain<br />
Reduction parameter (values from -70dB to -infinity are off the meter.) The speed with<br />
which the Gain signal decays from 0dB to the shutoff value can be observed to change<br />
according to the Release time parameter.<br />
