Gatelab, by Audiomodern, is a free creative gate sequencer and volume-modulation generator. Instead of manually programming a rhythm, you let it randomize a combination of parameters and generate ever-changing gate patterns — chopping up any audio signal into fresh rhythmic ideas that would take much longer to build by hand.
Features
- Generates gate sequences in real time and syncs to host tempo.
- Gate and Flow modes, plus Disintegration and Grow modes for evolving patterns.
- Customizable sequence range, wet/dry mix, and MIDI output, so it can control or randomize parameters in other plugins.
- Instant/tap bypass for live use, quick-load presets, and an “Infinity Mode” so no two patterns repeat.
Compatibility
Free plugin from Audiomodern, available in VST / VST3 / AU / AAX for Windows & macOS, plus an iOS app. Requires a free Audiomodern account to download.
Good to know
Audiomodern has since released a paid follow-up, Gatelab 2, with an expanded feature set — but the original Gatelab covered here remains available as a free download.
