A1TriggerGate
There are many sequenced / rhythmic gates out there, but honestly
nothing really satisfied me yet. So I decided to write my own plugin
for this task…
Some years ago it was a very popular producing style in all the dance
music genres to have at least one ‘rhythmic gated’ sound in almost
every production. Nowadays this powerful production technigue for
achieving more rhythmic dynamics gets its revival in house music,
dubstep, trap, hip-hop and even pop tracks.
Pattern Sequence
Each section of step length buttons & step volume faders represents
one beat of your pattern sequence. You can choose between
‘NoStep‘, ‘ShortStep, ‘LongStep‘ and ‘StepLink‘ by simply pressing
a step length button. Each beat consists of 4 steps (1/16 notes in
‘Normal Mode’) or 3 steps (1/8T notes in ‘Triplet Mode’) and each
step has its own step volume fader above to dial in its relative level.
Integrated FX
The integrated FX (Lowpass Filter, Drive/Distortion and Echo/Delay)
are designed as easy as possible. No vast amounts of parameters to
dial in to get the desired effect on your sound. Simply turn it on and
tweak it a little and you’re ready to go !
Of course there is a ‘Global FX Off’ switch to step through all presets
without any of the integrated FX. Professional producers will
appreciate that little feature.
Get some ‘random’ inspiration !
If you are looking for the right groove or just an interesting rhythmic
pattern, sometimes it is a good way to let my plugin provide you with
some random patterns. Just press ‘random’ several times and
use the sequence you like. It’s simple as that !
