Trance gate effect - what is your preferred method?

[mutools]

MUX Modular has presets that do trance gating. And you can change / extend that modular patch as you want, building your own special trance gates.

Is it worth it, compared to A1TriggerGate which is free?

I have not tried that one

I'm digging A1TriggerGate. You can't draw custom shapes, so it does not have that aspect, but for getting some fast stutter patterns, I might be using this a lot--and it has some tweaks.

Yes, definitely for me. I find A1TriggerGate a bit unintuitive. Gatekeeper is both more straight forward, and has more features. I also find the filter in A1TriggerGate pretty useless, but, YMMV.

I'd definitely demo before buy, of course.

Do you have all the old Steinberg factory plugins running in a current version of cubase? I tried to get them all going in cubase 8 a while back but it didn't work. I miss chopper and a few other plugins quite a bit.

We have only recently switched to Cubase but Steinberg put out Chopper as a 32 bit VST 15+ years ago. There is definitely a plugin called Chopper in Cubase 10 Pro but I haven't looked at it yet.

Just looking at the GUI of A1 Triggergate I would say yes, it is. The gate patterns are much more like MSEGs, not just steps on or off, and you can layer up to 8 patterns per patch. Gatekeeper doesn't have a filter but it does have other features that make it useful in other ways. If you are interested it is definitely worth checking out Infected Mushroom's short videos.

Thanks BONES. I downloaded the demo, then stumped up and bought it

I found this the other day, really decent trance gate effect

The original T-Force Trance Gate is still my favorite:

Unfortunately the 2nd one has been a bit buggy for me.

I like A1 for creative purposes, and I keep trying to fully transition to it or something else because I want to give up the last of my 32-bit plugins, but I just can't find one that sounds as good or as instantly dance-able as T-Force.

I mostly use the kHs Trance Gate plugin, their Snap-Heap one. I like the rotary GUI and it's a doddle to use.

Rapid has a really nice trancegate, now that there is Rapid FX version I think I'll use it to process other synths whenever I need a trancegate.
