FX-Mechanics releases RhyGa - Free Rhythmic Gate Plugin for Windows & Linux (VST2/VST3)

FX-Mechanics recently released version 0.1 of RhyGa, a simple yet versatile rhythmic gate effect for your DAW.

RhyGa allows the user to create tempo-synced patterns by modulating the volume of an incoming audio signal. With per-step controls for level, pan, duration, and an auxiliary send, you can transform static pads into pulsating rhythms, create complex stutter effects on vocals, or add dynamic movement to any track.

Features

• 16-Step Sequencer: Create patterns up to 16 steps long.
• DAW Synchronization: The sequencer stays in time with the DAW's tempo and transport controls.
• Flexible Timing: Choose from various metric subdivisions, including straight, triplet, and 32nd notes.
• Dual Stereo Outputs: A main stereo output and a separate stereo auxiliary output for parallel processing.
• Per-Step Controls:
  • On/Off: Activate or deactivate individual steps.
  • Duration: Control how long the gate stays open for each step.
