Welcome to the world of unpredictable sound transformations with killerGATE+ by Novakill! If you’re looking for a tool that can breathe new life into your audio signals by combining synthesizer elements with powerful effects, then killerGATE+ is exactly what you need.
This multi-functional VST effect is designed to go beyond the ordinary. It integrates several key modules that, working together, allow you to create unique rhythmic, dynamic, and timbral textures. killerGATE+ is ideal for use as an insert effect on individual tracks or groups, opening up wide possibilities for sound design, processing drums, guitars, vocals, or any other material.
Key Features of killerGATE+
The killerGATE+ plugin has brought together under one roof several extremely useful modules, each of which adds its own unique color to the overall sound palette.
Advanced GATE
At the heart of the plugin is its advanced gate module. This is not just a standard noise reduction tool. The advanced gate capabilities allow you to create complex rhythmic patterns, “cut” sounds, control sustain and attacks with high precision. You can use it to create a “stuttering” effect, emphasize rhythm, or completely rethink the dynamics of your audio material.
State-Variable Filter with Resonance
The filter module provides flexible control over timbre. The State-Variable Filter is versatile and can function as a low-pass (LPF), band-pass (BPF), or high-pass (HPF) filter, depending on your needs. Add to this the resonance parameter, and you get a powerful sound shaping tool: from a soft cut to bright, “wah-wah” sounds with a pronounced peak at the cutoff frequency. Ideal for automation and creating dynamic timbral changes.
Distortion Module with Mix Control
For those who like to add character and aggression, killerGATE+ offers a distortion module. This effect adds harmonics and saturation, making the sound denser and more expressive. A feature is the presence of a Dry/Wet control, which allows you to accurately dose the amount of the effect, mixing the processed signal with the original. This makes it possible to use distortion both for light coloring and for completely destroying the original sound.
Integrated LFO
To animate static parameters and add movement, the plugin is equipped with an LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator) module. The LFO can be assigned to modulate various parameters within the plugin, such as the filter cutoff frequency, distortion level, or even gate parameters. This opens the door to creating pulsating timbres, rhythmic filtering, tremolo effects, and many other dynamic sound effects that react to time.
How to Use killerGATE+
killerGATE+ is best showcased as an insert effect. Simply load it onto the desired audio track in your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and start experimenting with different modules and their interactions. Try applying it to drum loops to create interesting rhythmic gated effects, to basslines to add aggression and movement with distortion and LFO, or to synthesizer parts to radically change their timbre using the filter and gate.
Thanks to its intuitive interface (although executed in the classic style of Novakill plugins) and a thoughtful set of features, killerGATE+ will become a valuable addition to your VST effects collection. It encourages experimentation and allows you to quickly find new and interesting sound solutions.
Let killerGATE+ become your secret weapon in creating unique and captivating soundscapes!
