Gat'R is a dedicated pattern-based gating effect. Rhythmic patterns are routable to amplitude, multimode-filter and delay modules in different combinations, or even sent outside to external synths and effects via Midi CC. Like all SONICBYTES programs Gat'R supports live performance, and patterns can be triggered or swapped on-the-fly by Midi message. A demo is available.

The demo version is fully functional with the limitation that saving is disabled and a noise arises now and then. Detailed information can read online in the Quick Reference. A tutorial is also available.

Since Gat'R is an audio-effect, we had use different VSTi instruments as an audio-source. Nevertheless the demo's show the capabilities of Gat'R; the used patterns are part of the default bank.

• Two independent stereo pattern sequencers routed to volume and filter
• Host synchronization of gates, LFO's and delay unit
• 1-32 steps per gate with both impulse and tied steps
• Many editing commands with random
• Gate parameters: Tempo, Attack/Release, Close/Open, Gatetime, Swing, Delay
• 6 LFO's with 10 waveforms, smoothing, and 30 modulation targets
• Filter with 8 types plus overdrive and distortion effect
• Delay unit, stereo reversal
• Modular unit routing; four different playmodes
• Preset Manager with clipboard
• Pattern recall via Midi note-in

The GUI of Gat'R was developed by 7fan (Xavier Bottet). Click on the thumbs to see some 3D-Models, graphics and wallpapers:

Gat'R is not a one man's idea. Users supported me during the complete phase of development with knowledge, sugestions, ideas and beta-testing. Without them Gat'R wouldn't rock you this way. Thanks to Xavier Bottet, David Gigante, Richard Doolittle, Donovan Stringer and Janosch!
