size 1.8 MB / 0.9 MB

Cymbal Killer is a 2-band gate especially designed for drums.

With it’s two bands you can have different envelope settings for the sustain (low frequencies) and attack (high frequencies) of the drum.

It allows the sustain to breathe while keeping the attack short to kill the cymbal bleed entering through the close mics on a drumset (hence the name).

It has a side-chain input and high-pass, low-pass and parametric filters (shared by the two bands) for focusing the sound of the drum on the detector circuit.
Lookahead for allowing the full transient through (introduces latency).
Two visualizers (one for each band) for watching the envelope.
Mix slider for allowing a mix between the original clean signal and the gated signal.

A1TriggerGate

A1TriggerGate is a Sequenced Gate plugin to chop up any incoming audio signal.
It is a well known effect in electronic music and sometimes also known as Trance Gate effect.
This plugin synchronizes to the host sequencer / DAW tempo. Each internal sequencer pattern consists of 4 beats / 16 steps (or 12 steps in Triplet mode). Each step length is either a ShortStep, LongStep, StepLink or NoStep and has its own step volume fader. There are 8 independent patterns that can be switched via automation.
The integrated FX (Low-pass Filter, Drive/Distortion and Echo/Delay) are designed for easy usage. There is only a minimal number of parameters to get the desired effect as fast as possible. Of course there is a Global FX Off switch to step through all presets without hearing any of the integrated FX. Professional producers will appreciate that little feature.
In Expert Mode there a 4 pattern command tabs featuring Shift Left/Right, Copy & Paste, Random and Init commands either for the step volume values, the step lenght values or all of them. Especially the Random command on step length values gives interesting results and is a good source for inspiration.
