New AMS Mixer type: Gate
ThisnewMixerTypeletsyousetuptwodifferentAMS
sources(orfixedAMSamounts),andthenswitch
betweenthetwousingathirdAMSsource.
It’ssimilartoanaudiogatewithaside‐chain,butwith
evenmoreflexibility–sinceyougettochoosewhat
happenswhenthegate
isclosed(belowthethreshold),
aswellaswhenit’sopen(abovethethreshold).
