INDUSTRY RESPECTED
"Gatekeeper is an excellent tool for adding rhythm and animation to sustained sounds. I love using it on pads and even loops to just add a bit more groove, while opening up the mix"
"I'm still using Gatekeeper in basically EVERY single modern production I do. For hard sidechaining, it doesn't get better than GK to me. I can control when it triggers with MIDI and still have full control over the exact env and timing, which is super important."
"I find myself loading Gatekeeper with every track I make. I usually use it with a very subtle mix, on sustain elements like pads and reverb, to give them a subtle movement. LOVE this device."
"Gatekeeper is an awesome plugin and does volume automation the best out of all of my other plugins of the same sort, it is really easy to work with and can definitely add some spice to whatever signal you apply to it."

★★★★★ 4.8/5
"There is no question that Gatekeeper is, hands down, the most bone-shatteringly awesome volume modulator in the scope of existence."
Rating
★★★★★ 4.65/5
"It's great because it's good for not only basic stuff like a quick sidechain but you can also get some really crazy textural stuff by just slapping it on any number of channels. One of my favorite things to do is just throw it on a pad with a long release and it instantly adds a unique sense of movement to the audio."
"Creatively using silence can be an incredibly effective production technique. It allows space for different elements of your track to shine through and, when used correctly, can breathe new life into your music. Gatekeeper by Polyverse is built for exactly that, using creative gating and sequencing in your productions in a unique, imaginative way."
"If you are looking for a volume automation tool, Gatekeeper should be at the top of your list. I find myself using this plug for inspiration over and over again. With the flexibility of the 8 envelopes and over 100 presets there is no end in sight for new, creative and interesting ideas."
"Gate plugins are often not a very creative tool as that’s not their main role. However, guys from Polyverse have found a way to improve it and make it more creative, so you can use Gatekeeper not just like a typical gate plugin, but also as an LFO or step sequencer. It may bring those pad layers back to life for any kind of electronic music."
"Gatekeeper is a solid Gate plugin that has everything one could ask for in terms of volume automation."
"The latest Polyverse Music plugin, Gatekeeper, offers truly amazing control over previously time-consuming stutter and gate effects."
"Polyverse's Gatekeeper is more than just an ordinary gate, featuring precise, sample fast modulation, enevelope drawing tools, boost and clip features, a smoothing algorithm, CV output for modular synths and 100s of presets. Thanks to its versatile design, Gatekeeper can work as a step sequencer, LFO, envelope, and sample-accurate volume automation tool."
"GateKeeper keeps in line with its volume automation, the primary ability of GateKeeper. The effect can be used for simple (but super precise) sidechaining or the effect can be used more creatively to instill complex rhythms into drum beats, bass lines, melodies, anything really!"
"Gatekeeper stands out from other standard gate designs with an interesting feature that includes eight envelopes, independent of each other. This essentially makes Gatekeeper, one of the best noise gate plugins for rhythmic gating purposes."
"Gatekeeper by Polyverse is a flexible, and cutting edge volume modulation, it is capable of producing sequenced volume patterns, MIDI gates, stutter effects, pseudo-sidechain (ducking) effects, planned dynamics, creative gain clipping, and much more."
Rating
★★★★★ 4.35/5
