NOISE GATES The Valve FX utilizes Silencer™ digital noise reduction, which can only
be found in the S-DISC™, to perform its noise gating chores. The
gate is actually found in the digital portion of the processing which
makes it so unique. This means that when the gate is closed, it writes
digital zeros (commonly known as digital black) which brings the
processor to its quietest status. The Parameters are as follows:
Effect On / Bypass ........Turns the Module on or off. When Modules
are turned off, their Parameters disappear
from the Parameter menu. To see the
Parameters, you must turn the Module on.
NG Threshold................Sets the level at which the gate will open.
Ranges from -∞ to +∞.
NG Hold Time ...............Controls the amount of time the signal must
remain below the off-threshold before NG
RELEASE TIME begins. This control should
be set long enough to prevent false triggering
during long decay times. Ranges from 0 to
500 milliseconds.
NG Attack Time.............Controls the how fast the gate opens after
detecting a signal above NG THRESHOLD.
Large numbers yield slower attack times,
while small numbers give a fast attack. Varies
from 0 to 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds).
NG Release Time ..........Controls how fast the gate closes after the sig-
nal has fallen below NG THRESHOLD for the
amount of time set by NG HOLD TIME. Large
numbers yield slow release times, while small
numbers give a fast release. Varies from 0 to
2000 milliseconds (2 seconds).
