This would be welcome addition to the K3. Noise gates have been
unsatisfactory in my experience, usually being difficult to set up and
introducing unwanted clicks and abrupt level changes into the audio
stream. A smooth operating downward expander is a far better choice.
I currently use a Behringer VX-2000 to drive the microphone input via a
-20db voltage pad. My primary reasons for using the unit are the
downward expander and the flexible input circuit for balanced
microphones (and phantom power if needed).
I hope your experiment becomes K3 feature at some point.
