[QUOTE="Dick Rees, post: 17184, member: 16"] Re: Gates & comps at the lower end I would interpret the OP's ''lower end'' stipulation as price, not quality. Gating is probably the one area where anything short of full functionality is just not acceptable. The suggestion of the Drawmer DS201 is really right on. For instance: Attack time is 10 micro-seconds, compared to a milli-second in most of the other units mentioned. For percussion this is the real deal as far as suitable response time. Tunable via L/H shelving filters. Attack, HOLD, and release controls. The hold function is really something to be desired. At $99 used this is really a good deal. And it fulfills the lower end of the price spectrum while offering high end performance. [/QUOTE]
