A gate is what you find at the front of your garden..

It's quite easy to demonstrate.. go out of your front door and you'll see it. It's got hinges on it and swings open and shut ;)

Hehehehe.

By hey a musical 'gate' is similar. It opens and closes the volume. As an example. Gate strings by playing the string sound as a whole and then use volume controller messages to make the volume suddenly go on and off. The result is a stutted effect. All the early hard trance used to do this - check some Nostrum stuff.
