The parameters for GATED 2 are identical:
This sets the time before the gated reverb will start sounding.
This sets the length of the gated reverb.
This has the effect of making the gated sound more or less ‘grainy’ and
‘echoey’.
Of course, GATED reverb is not only suitable for drums but can be used to add space to any
sound. Try it on other percussion sounds such as congas or try it on rhythmic guitar parts or
arpeggiated sequencer parts, etc.. Try it also with highly rhythmic keyboard parts. Generally, try
to set the TIME control so that the sound has its own distinctive ambient space around it.
