G8

Unfiltered Audio

Where to get itAvailable from Unfiltered Audiounfilteredaudio.com

G8 is a high-quality noise gate that functions as both a professional dynamics workstation and experimental amplitude effect. Beyond traditional noise reduction, it enables creative applications including AM/granular synthesis, tremolo, transient shaping, and amplitude-dependent effect routing through its Reject Outputs and Flip Mode features.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Cycle and One-Shot gating modes for stutter effects, AM synthesis, and granular synthesis
02Reject Outputs for amplitude splitting into two separate signal paths
03External sidechain support with independent Analysis Gain and Output Gain controls
04RMS and Peak metering styles with Lookahead control and accurate latency reporting
05Variable Reduction, Hysteresis, and Hold parameters to prevent chatter
06Customizable MIDI input and output for triggering and synchronization
07Flip Mode to reverse threshold analysis behavior and swap main and Reject Outputs
08Expert Mode with advanced routing matrix, filtering (High-Pass and Low-Pass), and individual channel analysis controls

Things to Try

  • 01For tremolo: Set Behavior to Cycle mode, Threshold to minimum, adjust Reduction for softness, and use Attack/Release/Hold to control speed
  • 02For AM Synthesis and Granulation: Start with Tremolo setup, then reduce Attack/Release/Hold to extremely low values (<50ms) and increase Delay to space grains
  • 03For Bouncing Ball MIDI Generation: Set Threshold to minimum, select Cycle mode, connect MIDI output to an instrument, then decrease Attack/Hold/Release times for rapid bounce and adjust Delay parameter
  • 04For Percussion Synthesizer: Use One-Shot mode with synth input, set Attack to ~10ms, Hold to 0ms, Release to ~100ms, and adjust Threshold appropriately
