SuperGate has been designed with two primary purposes, to find and isolate target sound while simultaneously determining whether to trigger a gate, attenuating unwanted signal while allowing other sounds to passthrough freely.
Uniquely, the SuperGate allows for customisable attack and release curves to hone in on the target frequency range. Adjustments can be made live during audition, with an additional visual aid from Metric Halo's WYSIWYG detector display.
Selected curves are saved as sample-by-sample instructions instead of more traditional expander parameters. When a trigger point is reached the instructions then modify the samples to describe the target sound and intelligently apply the gate.
This unique approach ably avoids aliasing artefacts, negating the need for interpolation to correct them and the modulation or smear degradation that results. The audible benefits are immediately apparent during playback.
