Alligator Triple Filtered Gate
The Alligator is a three-channel gate effect with a built-in pattern player. It can chop up audio in a wide variety of ways and process it with three parallel filters, distortions, a phaser and a delay. The Alligator can be used for processing sustaining sounds like strings and pads, adding rhythms and accents. It can also be used on loops and other rhythmic material, changing the feel and sound. Applied to a whole mix, the Alligator can be a powerful remix tool, totally reshaping the material.
Alligator patches have the file extension ".gator". The Factory Sound Bank contains a number of Alligator effect patches for use as is or as starting points for further tweaking. Patches are loaded and saved using the standard procedures.

Don't forget that you can also save Alligator settings as part of a Combinator patch. Combining an instrument device with an Alligator is a quick way to create gated, rhythmic pads.
