what it’s about
With 1.5 ms of lookahead, AyGate opens before the transient arrives — no more chopped-off attacks. The sidechain filter makes the gate listen to the snare instead of the hi-hat bleed. The activity display shows when and how far the gate opens.
in detail
- 1.5 ms lookahead: transients stay fully intact
- Sidechain high-pass up to 2 kHz against bleed
- Full envelope: attack, hold, release, range
- Hysteresis logic with no chatter at the threshold
- Activity history with threshold reference line
