Official effect
Clamp-style gate that currently uses the same smoothed-envelope core as Noise Gate.
The active path is the same one used by Noise Gate: a low-passed absolute-value envelope feeds a threshold-and-multiplier clamp that opens or closes the processed signal before a final high shelf. It already suppresses tails and low-level content, but it is not yet a separate adaptive or multi-stage suppression model.
Static peaks come from the compiled FAUST preview render. The live scope is drawn from the browser playback output in real time.
How It Works
The active path is the same one used by Noise Gate: a low-passed absolute-value envelope feeds a threshold-and-multiplier clamp that opens or closes the processed signal before a final high shelf. It already suppresses tails and low-level content, but it is not yet a separate adaptive or multi-stage suppression model.
Signal Path
Preview source: An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo with a 19-sample right-channel delay and slight left/right shelf-EQ offsets before it hits the dynamics or EQ core.

Smoothed-envelope clamp gate with post-gate high-shelf tone shaping.
The static waveform and the live player both reflect this compiled signal chain.
These are the currently active controls detected in the FAUST source for this effect.
The generated description is tied to the active helper blocks and routing found in the current DSP.
Controls
Blends the untouched stereo preview source with the processed path after the core effect.
Lower settings keep more dry attack and natural dynamics; higher settings push the processed behavior forward.
Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
Matches loudness without changing the actual dynamic or EQ structure.
Aliases into the internal threshold term used by the clamp gate.
Higher settings let more signal through before the gate clamps down.
Adjusts the post-gate high shelf.
Controls how bright the opened signal remains.
Raises the multiplier that steepens the clamp gate response.
Makes the suppression more abrupt and obvious.
Analysis
Current implementation shares the same clamp-style gate core as Noise Gate, Downward Expander, and Resonance Suppressor.
No current warnings are attached to this effect.
