Live's Gate manual = Flip / Live's Gate interface = Floor

Hi, reading the manual i noticed somthing strange.

In gate's explanation it says "the Floor parameter, located beneath the Threshold fader..." then i look at the Gate interface and i see "Flip" on it... maybe you mistake with that parameter naming?

Sorry if i am missing something.

Could be a mistake.
However, "floor" does sound like a nice way to describe the parameter.
If you click on the button, the floor becomes the ceiling.

Agree. Its usually referred aswell as 'range' or 'ratio' on other brands and tech books.

Dont understand this... do you mean it is what it should happen when you hit that button? In this case agree too. Actually it highlights, but the same name remains.

sorry for my english

The floor parameter is the one right above the flip button and below the fader. It sets how much the volume is attenuated when the gate is closed (i.e. when the signal is below the threshold) -- so instead of muting it completely you can just reduce the volume some (or a lot). The flip parameter reverses the direction of the gate, so muting happens when the signal is above the threshold.
