Noise Gate
A Noise Gate is designed to eliminate hiss and ambient noise while you are not
playing. A Noise Gate can also be used to create an automatic swell in volume.
The GNX3000 includes two different types of Noise Gates: Silencer and Pluck. The
Silencer operates as a standard Noise Gate. The Pluck feature is designed to close
after every note (depending on the Pluck Sensitivity). This allows automatic volume
swells to occur on a note by note basis.
Gate On/Off
The STATUS button turns the Noise Gate (gate) on and off.
Gate Type
KNOB 1 selects between the Silencer (Silencer) or Pluck (PLUCK) type of
Noise Gates.
Gate Threshold
KNOB 2 sets the signal strength required to open or close the Noise Gate. The
Gate Threshold (
Threshld) parameter ranges from 0 (opens easily) to 99
(requires strong signals to open).
Gate Attack
KNOB 3 adjusts the length of time it takes the gate to open (ATTACK) and the
signal to become audible once the Threshold has been exceeded. Ranges from
0
(immediate signal), to
9 (This setting will gradually ramp up the volume).
Pluck Sensitivity
KNOB 4 selects the threshold (PLUCKSNS) where the Gate re-triggers when using
the Pluck type Noise Gate. This parameter is only available when Pluck is the
selected type of Noise Gate. Ranges from
0 (requires strong signals) to 99 (re-
triggers with weak signals).
Knob 5
No function when the Noise Gate is selected.
