Pitch-sensing gate effect - free VST audio effect plug-in download for music production, broadcasting and general audio editing.
For more details, read through the online manual below.
GPitchGate is a pitch-sensing gate effect. It tracks the pitch of the incoming audio and uses that to trigger a gate effect.
GPitchGate is designed to work with monophonic, melodic inputs. It's unlikely to have any useful effect on records of chords, rhythms or ensembles.
The user interface is all on one page with a handful of switches and knobs.
Inverse gate: By default, the gate will be open for pitches between the specified frequencies and closed for those outside. Engaging this switch will reverse that, muting notes inside the range and keeping those outside.
Min Freq, Max Freq: These settings define the range of notes that trigger the gate. Combined with the "inverse gate" setting, these define which notes are kept and which are muted.
Fade, Attack: These settings control how quickly the gate will open or close when triggered. The "Attack" setting controls how quickly the gate closes, and the "Fade" setting controls how long it takes for the gate to release again.
Gate Default: This switch controls how the gate behaves when no pitch is detected.
"Open" means that the input signal will pass through whenever no pitch is detected. Only when an unwanted pitch is detected will the gate close.
"Close" indicates that the gate should be closed until a wanted pitch is detected. That note will be allowed through and the gate will close again.
"Hold" indicates that the gate will open when a wanted pitch is detected and then stay open until an unwanted note occurs. Then the gate will stay closed until a wanted note is detected.
