A good method for creating this effect is; create a layer with your
desired pad sound, copy that layer to a second. Tweak layer two so that
LFO 2 is modulating AMP using one of the square or pulse wavefroms and
is tempo locked (1/8. 1/16 etc.). Now, with cord N (knob 14) have that
crossfade between the two layers. Save the preset with the pad played as
normal and then crossfade when you wanted the gated effect. Add extra
release on layer two to give a bit of a delay feel. Also, you can fatten
your preset by using all four layers (1 and 2 normal, 3 and 4 gated). To
set the crossfade you'll need set the initial amp of layer 2 to -96db
and have cord N work in a positive path and layer 1 have cord N work in
a negative path.
