Operation Figure 1 shows the waveform and envelope of a gated signal. The G4 has 3 modes: Gate, Ducker or downward Expander. The leading edge of the envelope is the attack time (0 to 250 ms). The hold time (0 to 3 seconds) determines how long the Side-chain Detector gate remains open after the signal goes below the set threshold. The side-chain detector compares a reference signal, commonly The release rate (25 ms to 2 seconds) determines how rapidly referred to as the key signal, to the

Expand Mode The basic objective of expansion is the same as gating: expand the dynamic range of a signal by reducing the noise floor. However, an expander provides a more subtle response than a gate in applications requiring smooth, natural decay. It works by controlling the ratio of output change to input change, in effect dynamically modifying gain below a set threshold. For example, if the ratio is set to 4:1 then the output decreases 4 dB for every 1 dB of decrease in input level (S

The blue trace shows the Gate input signal. Ducking is useful for voiceover and instrument solo applications. The yellow trace shows the Gate output signal.
