Antelope VP Gate Keeper II

Runs natively in your DAW on macOS or Windows, or in real-time on your Synergy Core interface.

The ultimate noise gate & envelope shaper

Created by the pioneers of VCA technologies, the Kepex ll – the unit after which the VP Gate Keeper II was modeled – embodies fast response, clean sound & unparalleled musicality.

When we hear “Noise Gates,” we often think of very linear ON/OFF types of processors. They can be too critical and rudimentary for today’s complex fine-tuning techniques in modern recording and mixing. However, the VP Gate Keeper II is made for all the grey areas between the ON and OFF positions. Its revolutionary Logarithmic Release mode protects the falling tails of gated materials. It retains the integrity & musicality of the signal even in extreme settings.

The five continuously variable parameters, along with the revolutionary Logarithmic Release mode and Keying mode, allow for:

• Active expansion – increasing the dynamic range of transient-heavy sources
• Leakage prevention – decreasing of ambient noises
• Creative effects – reproduction of unique electronic effects in Keying mode

This unique parametric Gate will let you synthesize urgency, excitement, and punch from dull and lifeless recordings. It’s easy-to-operate parameters will offer familiar controls for fast and easy operation.
