Official effect
Oscillator-driven rhythmic gating from the shared chop core.
The current stutter and gate family does not repeat audio from a loop buffer. Instead, it multiplies the dry phrase by two oscillator-driven gain masks and crossfades that result with the direct signal through `mix`. `motion` sets the gate rates, `shape` scales the gate depth, and the declared `tone` control is inactive.
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 current stutter and gate family does not repeat audio from a loop buffer.

Signal Path
Preview source: An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo with a 19-sample right-channel delay before it hits the current looper or glitch core.
An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo with a 19-sample right-channel delay before it hits the current looper or glitch core.
Oscillator-driven stereo amplitude gate crossfaded against the dry phrase.
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
Crosses the dry phrase toward the modulated-gate output.
Higher settings make the rhythmic chopping more pronounced.
Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
Matches loudness without changing the actual loop, freeze, or glitch structure.
Raises the speeds of the left and right gate oscillators.
Changes how quickly the chopping cycles.
Scales the oscillator-driven gate amplitude.
Makes the slicing deeper and more obvious as it increases.
Declared in the shared control set but unused in the current preview code.
Changing it currently has no effect on the sound.
Analysis
Current implementation shares the same oscillator-gate architecture across Stutter / Beat Repeat, Slicer, Rhythm Gate, and Random Stutter, and the declared tone control is inactive.
No current warnings are attached to this effect.
