Melody / Help / Modulation / Auto Gate

Auto Gate

Opens automatically when the input has SOUND — it follows the In signal's level (with hysteresis so it doesn't chatter) and emits a smooth gate, high above Threshold, low below. Wire its Gate output INTO an audio input to gate that signal (e.g. a synth that should only sound while you sing), into a param to modulate it, or into a trigger to fire it. For a hand switch use a Manual Gate; for a rhythmic chop a Rhythmic Gate. Melody-owned (gate-rt, threshold mode).
