The TX gate is a fast-switching hard gate so it will quickly open/close around its threshhold. A delay of its closing time or soft-knee behaviour would avoid this. Try setting it in such away that the switching threshold is not too near to the ground-noise you want to supress. (threshhold

Has anyone else noticed some distortion using the tx gate option? I heard it on a friends' K3 and tested it on mine, while listening on headphones and the monitor on, after each word or syllable, I hear some distortion or crackling noise. It seems to be when the setting is at 13 or above. I've
