Unagated

UNAGATED is the unrelenting creative gating effect. It has multiple features unique to WireGrind, these include several envelope-shaping control parameters as well as a special algorithm that passes transients while simultaneously suppressing the clicking sounds that ordinarily occur when a gate rapidly opens and closes.

Envelope & Transient Shaping

Delay the onset of the attack envelope and shorten the duration of notes with "Delay Attack" and "Force Release." Alter rhythmic texture using "Hold Closed" and "Skip Beats."

Change the range from, say, -60dB to -3dB, and manipulate transients. For example, increase or decrease the punchiness of drums with "Delay Attack" and "Force Release."

Anti-Clicking Technology

Noise gates can create a clicking sounds when either the attack or release times are very short. Unagated includes a "suppress clicking" option that virtually eliminates these noises. This feature runs in real-time and without look-ahead.

Carefully Tuned Envelopes

Unagated uses a release envelope that mimics the decay of an acoustic instrument. There are also two attack envelopes options. One envelope models the envelope of an analog synthesizer. The other uses a smooth gradual volume swell that can be more perceptually pleasing with longer attack times.

Other Features

Unagated features also include side chaining, hysteresis control, ducking, strong trigger signal filtering, look-ahead, independent/linked channel processing, and surround sound/multi-channel support. You can combine different channel formats for the input, output, and sidechain. The trigger-signal scope has an adjustable scroll time that range from 0.25s to 20.0s.
