Switch functions as a gate sequencer effect plugin, with its core being a high-precision step sequencer synchronized with the host transport. This step sequencer drives a gate pattern, essentially a sequence of on/off switches that determine whether the input audio passes through (gate open) or is muted (gate closed). The plugin provides a total of 8 gate patterns, each with up to 32 steps, offering extensive timing options for creating polymetric or polyrhythmic motion in any time signature. While only one gate pattern is active at a time, users can edit all patterns on the fly, and the interface includes various macro editing functions.
The sequencer algorithm includes advanced swing support. Users can smoothly adjust the swing ratio in real time, with both positive and negative values. Importantly, correct swing timing is maintained even when the pattern length is an odd number. The gate itself features variable time and is shaped using a two-pole low-pass filter, resulting in natural yet snappy transitions akin to an analog circuit. The combination of these simple tools in Switch enables the rapid creation of diverse rhythmic audio level patterns, ranging from classic trancegate and intricate tremolo effects to beat chopping, pulsating accents, complex staccato, and more.
