Damn this broken search function! Sorry if this has been covered.

We were talking about the new Vanguard stereo-gate in another topic, i.e. the built in gate that does gating in stereo.

Can anyone recommend a stand alone MIDI gate that does something like this? I use Cubase SX, I haven't been using gating like I used to in Logic and definitely need to get back into the good ol' stuttering sounds like I used to.

The stereo gate on the new Vanguard makes a nice subtle difference so yeah... if you know about a stand alone, throw down....

Do you mean the direct-X Skidder? It doesn't look like it side-chains to a midi channel... that one looks pretty much the same as the Chopper that comes built into Cubase.

There's also a VST page on that DFX page that seems to link to steinberg but the link is broken. Were you referring to something in there?

While that DFX one has a 'stereo spread' function, that's not what I was wondering about, I'm wondering if there's a sidechainable MIDI gate that has the same stereo-gating capacity as the newest release of the Vanguard (1.1 I think)... as in you can assign left/right specific gate values instead of just mono open/shut.

Instead of a single gate pattern acting on both channels like

--x--xx-x---x--x

it's sending specific gate open/shut messages to invidual left/right channels like

Left --x--xxx--x--x-x-x
Right x--x--x--x--x--x--x


It's opened up a whole cool new level of subtlety on some of the newest Vanguard presets, more stereo atmosphere is always a good thing.


Maybe a standalone MIDI stereogate hasn't been written yet, I can't think of how they'd implement the stereo aspect into a standard issue sidechain.

I guess you could do this on your own by running individual sidechains on each channel if you split a stereo VST signal into separate left/right channels, but I'm really really lazy. Hmm.

MgTriggerGate:
http://www.mgaudio.de/modules/main.php

"It is a sequenced gate, similar to the trancegate effect found in reFX' Vanguard. It has a little 16-step-sequencer for trigger impulses, is syncable to host tempo and all important parameters are automatable."

I think it's an excellent plug-in, and FREE!

Aeon,
the skidder accepts MIDI in commands. (in logic also btw).
and it's a VST plugin.

I think you can work it out - but don't ask me how           Crackling universes dive into their own neverending crackle...

Cool, I'll check it out when I get home from work.

Also, that MgTrigger gate looks pretty rad too. I'm guessing I'll have to split a stereo channel and do the 2 separate gates for the programmable stereo specific effect, but what the hell.... another adventure in production....

Thanks guys!

It's the tightest and most reliable MIDI gate I've found so far.           Mastering - http://mastering.OOOD.net :: www.is.gd/mastering
