Antelope Audio VP Gate Keeper II

Noise Gate & Expander Plugin

VP Gate Keeper II is a VCA Gate & Expander tool hiding more potential than any other similar plugin.

Capable of cleaning up your sound from any unwanted artifacts without affecting its overall musicality, it will breathe new life into previously flat-sounding recordings.

VP Gate Keeper II embodies fast response, clean sound & unparalleled musicality.

Unlike typical, very liner ON/OFF types of noise gates, this unique Gate & Expander tool was designed to cover all the grey areas between the ON and OFF positions.

Its revolutionary Logarithmic Release mode protects the falling tails of gated materials.

Even in extreme settings, it retains the integrity and musicality of the signal.

In contrast to VP Gate Keeper's enormous envelope-shaping potential, its controls are slick and straightforward.

Featuring familiar Threshold, Release, Range, and Output settings for quick & easy operation, the true power of the plugin lies in the VCA circuitry of the hardware original that inspired it.

The plugin is unlike anything else on the market.

History

The inspiration behind the VP Gate Keeper II is the Keepex II, an early 1970s unit, created by the pioneers of VCA technologies.

Thanks to its fast response, clean sound and unparalleled musicality, it was found in every gold-record-making studio around the world.

In many ways, this trusted envelope shaper carved the drums of the '70s and '80s pop and rock and music.

The Kepex ll was based on the revolutionary Valley TA-101 VCA, which it used for its gain-reduction.

Like all Valley People chips, the TA-101 gave the Kepex ll unparalleled musicality even in extreme settings.

Protecting the signal while applying monstrous amounts of gain-reduction was only associated with Vari-Mu Tube designs until the TA-101 made it possible for the tubeless Valley People devices.

The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.

iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration

iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home

iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.

iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.

iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).
