Main features and functions
-
32-step sequencer: easyGater is equipped with a 32-step sequencer that fully syncs with the tempo of your host application (DAW). Each individual step can have independent duration (Gate Time) and volume (Volume) settings.
-
Synchronization modes: Triplet and dotted note modes are supported, providing additional flexibility in creating complex rhythmic patterns.
-
Rate and cycle length adjustment: You can set the overall gating rate (Rate), synchronized with the host, as well as define the gating cycle length.
-
Detailed control over Attack and Release: You can customize individual Attack (rise time) and Release (fall time) values for each step. In addition, the Fade parameter allows for smooth transitions between steps with different volume levels, avoiding harsh clicks.
-
Built-in filter: The plugin has an internal filter, the output of which can be specifically adjusted to low gain (Low Gain), high gain (High Gain), or oscillations between these values. You can also set the cutoff frequency (Split Freq), which separates the low and high frequencies for processing.
-
Global time management: The Global Time function allows you to simultaneously change the duration for all steps. The Tie-step lock option (Lock Tie Steps) allows you to preserve the duration of linked steps even when the overall gate time is reduced.
-
Quick step editing: Convenient global controls allow you to quickly change the values of all steps both in time (using the blue arrows to the left of the sequencer) and in volume (using the green arrows to the right).
