sweepable gate plugin ?

[Mr No Name]

Does anyone know of a software vst gate plug in that will gate a signal, drums particularly, and then be able to "lock" the gate and sweep it along the waveform,

I suppose it will be a gate that will transform into a sweepable filter ??

 

Thanks

I don't understand what result you are looking for, but could a locked gate+ a sweeping low pass filter do the trick?

[Mr No Name]

yes, but I don't know how you would connect the gated signal to the sweeping filter and move it along the waveform?

it would be like a multiple narrow Q equalizer being able to move as one along the spectrum/waveform? 10 bands? 20 bands? depending on how many transients were let through on a 4 bar loop on the gate.

It's for sound design purposes not sound engineering.

 

I'm sure one exists, if not I'll invent it and sell it for $149.99.  Cheaper on black friday.

I think you might need to provide a different form of explanation so we can better help you find what you're after:

I dont' really understand what you are trying to do, or get as a sound result?

How does a gate "move" with a sweeping filter?  they do completely different things?

AFAIK a gate either lets sound thru or it doesn't, based on things like attack time, etc. 

A filter lets some range of sound frequencies thru; a sweeping filter changes the frequency range or central frequency,  etc.  

 

What way do you want to combine those two things, for what result?
