I’m not sure if this has already been discussed. If so can someone point me in the right direction.
I would like to disable and enable all the drum gates with one soft key. Is that possible? Or should this be moved to the feature request section?
Hi. I did this on Avantis by ganging the channels where you have the noise gates inserted (probably toms?), selecting only the gate, then I created a soft key command to activate and deactivate gates on toms 1-4. See photos. Hope this helps.

This is perfect. Thank you! I had not thought about using the gang feature for this.
Yes but… it will gang all the parameters of the Gate. Not just the In/Out state.
The only way i can see on Avantis for this is using separate Scenes with filter on it. Then you can assign it to just 1 softkey.
For example:
Scene 1 - GATE ON
Recall filter Block all except: Input processing GATE (on each channel) + Soft key 1
Store the state in the scene:
- Gates IN
- Scene 2 recall on Soft key 1
Scene 2 - GATE OFF
Recall filter Block all except: Input processing GATE (on each channel) + Soft key 1
Store the state in the scene:
- Gates OUT
- Scene 1 recall on Soft key 1
So each time you “change” your gates In/Out state, you will also change your Soft key’s function too.
But yes… if you change your Gate’s parameters on Scene 1(GATE ON), it will lost if you recall the Scene 2(GATE OFF), so be carefull, or needed to manualy store before turning off. For me the Auto Store not working for this in Director.

You are correct…parameters remain common. On D-Live I believe there’s more control with Actions, but I haven’t tried it yet. Yes, best option would be using 2 different scenes. 
I enjoy the Avantis, but once you’ve done shows with a D-Live, it’s hard to go back.
Ah, I did not think about that. Good catch. If I have time, I’ll play around with it later today.
