The Kick Gate | The Kick Gate ''can'' be used with electronic drums, IF the kick signal is sent to the T1 in it's ''own channel'', NOT as a part of the L/R group mix. Your sound module must have at least one extra output other than the L/R mix. The Roland TD-12 has L/R and additional outputs 1 & 2. | ||
I have done this in a few boomy rooms, however, the gate is not all that effective when trying to tame *the room* as opposed to cutting of the sample's sonic envelope. The decay envelope of the electronic kick is better reduced internally in the drum sound module you are using. This is typically done with the *muffling* and *decay* edit screens, if available in your module. | I have done this in a few boomy rooms, however, the gate is not all that effective when trying to tame *the room* as opposed to cutting of the sample's sonic envelope.
