Another way is to sidechain the gate using a hi-hat on a midi channel then you just program the trigger rhythm into the hi hat pattern, gives you a lot more control than triggering with an audio track. You can also physically play in the trigger part in this way. Been using this technique with physical gates ( and their key input ) over pad sounds and vocals since the 90's in dance music. The Camelspace VST has a trance gate preset that allows you to do this automatically too.

@nrXic3 жыл бұрын
Yeah I've always preferred how it's done in trackers and I wish there was a VST effect that did it in a similar fashion. Or it could be triggered with MIDI notes instead of a sound.
@cockur3 жыл бұрын
Love this effect. Top Tip: if you want to do this really quickly you can use AutoPan in Tremolo mode (Saw wave works best) and set Phase = 0. You have less control over the rhythm and shape of the gating but it works well as a quick substitute. Plus you can reverse the Saw to get a Ramp reverse type sound.

For most of this, an LFO mapped to a synth's master volume would work a bit faster, and depending on the synth can provide control over more interesting shapes.

Even Grossbeat has some decent trancegate presets built right in. That's definitely the easier route, though I'm sure doing it this way would provide more control in certain applications.

LFO only provides a constant rhythm though (eg 1/4 or 1/8) - you can’t give it a groove (unless you use a lot of automation, but at that point it’s easier to just use a gate with a drum pattern like in this vid)

Nice technique. I have used LFO tool and Gatekeeper to do the same thing but I can see that the ability to automate the release time and/or use a triple note bassline as the trigger would be pretty useful.

Great video . I used to create gates with an Alesis Compressor /limiter that had a trigger for the gate which you'd feed in a high hat or something . This gating effect became very dated sounding by 1995 IMHO but I'm sure kids who weren't even born then would think it pretty fresh .

This just took my plucks to the next level. And here's a tip, your gated sounds will come out much cleaner if instead of using a kick as the sidechain, just generate some solid white noise, with no envelope, using Operator. Freeze it, and then use ableton's fade feature to generate some plucks. This will result in a cleaner envelope with more frequencies for the gate to work with. This results in big, awesome plucks that no synth can generate

Another way to do it: Midi trigger track with synth with basic init patch Set outs to sends only Create midi pattern for trigger Set sidechain on gate and play around until it sounds dope Gated Reverb Sends: Put an over the top reverb on a send. Saturate or crush to taste (slow panning over whole bars also sounds good) Set send to PRE fader* Lush reverb that you can dial in *with the send set tp prefader you can start with just the gated signal and slowly bring in the original signal with automation.
