What it does

Rhythmic gate

Tacet plays the silences. A free-running LFO drives a gate whose waveform morphs from gentle swells through to a short stutter, cutting rhythmic rests into your sound. Built-in 16-step patterns and a step editor — per-step level, tie and pitch — give you arpeggiated, sequenced gating. The editor writes one portable pattern format that drives both the plugin and, later, the hardware pedal: author once, runs in both.

The controls
  • RATEGate speed, roughly 0.3–14 Hz.
  • DEPTHHow far the gate closes — silent at max.
  • SHAPEGate edge: sine swell through to stutter pulse.
  • SMOOTHSlews the edges from hard chops to click-free swells.
  • PATTERNSelects and blends built-in 16-step rhythms.
  • MIXGated signal against the dry.
