Lightweight Soft Knee Gate is designed to deliver smooth gating with minimal impact on your system's performance. This gate utilizes a soft knee approach, providing a gradual transition that enhances signal control without abrupt changes. Its continuous and consistent response makes it suitable for a variety of audio processing tasks where subtle gating is required.

Users can easily customize the gating behavior with a fully adjustable soft knee parameter measured in decibels, allowing precise control over the margin below the threshold. The plugin includes ten presets to help get started quickly, catering to different audio scenarios. Its core algorithms are mathematically optimized using psychoacoustic approximation functions, ensuring effective gating aligned with human hearing perception.

As an open-source project, Lightweight Soft Knee Gate is part of a larger collection of audio tools that emphasize efficiency and quality. Its low CPU usage makes it ideal for both professional and home studio environments, offering reliable performance without compromising system resources. The plugin is a practical choice for those seeking a transparent and resource-friendly gating solution.
