What's your favourite GATE plug-in?

[Zeisner]

A1TriggerGate. And it's free!

That's a good one indeed. One of the (very) few (sequenced) gates without aliasing.

Probably Shaperbox.

The one that works almost by itself. Wanted to like Sonnox Drumgate but it was a bit too taxing. really like Metric Halo Supergate. Strangely easy to dial in.

There seems to be a mixed definition of what a GATE plugin actually is in this thread.

I think we need to be clear about which type of GATE folks are talking about. Traditionally (what I assumed the OP was going for) was a gate which responds to the input, only allowing the signal above a measurable threshold to be heard.

Things like Shaperbox, A1TriggerGate, Polyverse's GateKeeper are all 'sequencer gates' which don't tend to respond to the input signal; they impart a previously sequenced set of volume ONs and OFFs to the audio signal. They usually fall under the name 'Trance Gates' or 'Tarnce Gates' because misspells are funny

All the others mentioned are regular gates which respond to the input signal dynamically, or respond to a side-chain signal.

Just wanted to clarify for any users unfamiliar with the wonderful world of gates.
