The Gater by SPC Plugins is a freeware VST plugin 16th-note (semi-quaver) rhythmic gate or gate sequencer.

It features an easy to use GUI with a handy randomize feature to invent new gate patterns, MIDI reception, two click-free gate shapes and stereo input/output. The Gater uses very little CPU power or screen space and is compatible with VST 2.4.

Changes in v1.4

• Added ability to continue gating audio when host DAW transport is stopped.
• Bugfix for AU validation failure in Logic Pro.
• Bugfix for parameter quantization issue.
