A gate raises and lowers the volume of a sound, usually in some sort of pattern. |

No. it's like this. A gate just automates the volume of whatever is being gated as it plays. If you have a normal reverb on a channel it will reverb the sound at the same volume the whole time it's on. If you put a gate on it, the volume will change depending on how your gate looks. Basically, the reverb will be more noticeable and less noticeable depending on the level in the gate.
A very noticeable gate effect is one put on a vocal sample that you hear ah ah ah ah get louder and quieter. The second track on this album has as gated vocal sample: http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display_release.asp?id=7728

You guys are referring mainly to a trance gate effect.
What an actual gate is is a dynamics processing effect that will silence any audio lower than it's threshold. It was mainly used in voice recording to take out any breaths or bumping of the microphone or sonic bleedthrough from using multiple mics on a band or on a drum set.
Where gated reverbs come into play is when you want to apply a significant reverb to single sounds but don't want the decay of the reverb to interfere with the other sounds being fed through that reverb. Let's take drums for instance, seeing that it's the most commonly used situation for a gated reverb. You have a drum groove going through to a reverb send with a gate on it. You reverb might have a long decay on it for the sound but you don't want it to cloud up the mix for the entire loop. So when you hats and stuff go through the reverb won't just keep sounding thereby creating this wash of reverberated sound. The gate will allow the reverb to do a portion of it's thing but once the volume drops below the threshold the sound of the reverb is cut out comepletely. Thereby giving the individual sounds that big room feel, but not allowing the whole group to sound washed out.

or gated reverb you can do this:
open AUX channel (send fx)
insert reverb and gate after.
make quite big reverb.
now with the gate (c1 gate not trance choppers) play with treshold.. somewhere up there it will stop the reverb in sharp type with no envelope. make sure the gate setting realese 0.
