5. Gatr Gater target and pattern

Selects the gater target (DJ FX filter or DJ FX audio) and pattern.

A "gater" is an effect that rhythmically turns a signal on and off, creating a choppy or stutter-like pattern, synced to the tempo of your song.

When an Aud (audio) target pattern ("positive" values) is selected, the gater pattern is applied to any DJ FX-added audio output's volume, (e.g. rhythmically making the noise+drone+filter playback audible and inaudible), while audio from the internal synthesizer is passed unaltered. If you need the internal synthesizer's audio to gate as well, please use the individual track gater behavior when programming fragments.

When an FLt (filter) target pattern ("negative" values) is selected, the gater pattern is applied to DJ FX filtered audio output. If the gate is closed, then the behavior depending on the filter target (6/Sn/'fl.tg'), is as follows;

• 'mix'; the full mix (noise+drone+buffer) is being filtered; upon gate close, only the internal synthesizer remains audible
• 'buff'; only any playing buffer is being filtered; upon gate close, any playing buffer becomes inaudible
• 'nois'; only any playing noise is being filtered; upon gate close, any playing noise becomes inaudible
• 'synt'; only the internal synthesizer is being filtered; upon gate close, the filter is temporarily suspended and the synthesizer will be audible unfiltered

The gater pattern numbers and behaviors are identical to those found in the fragment and scene editing of individual tracks.
