Gate
Overview
The Gate is an input channel selector: the output is either copied from the first input (S1), or from the second input (S2). The Gate input determines which input is copied; a pseudo-true value at the gate copies S1, a pseudo-false copies S2.If the Gate and both signal inputs each have the same amount of channels, then each channel can be switched seperately (this is a fundamental difference from the Switch Converge operator ("Switch Converge")).

Details
In order to function correctly, both inputs S1 and S2 must have equal channel configurations.The Gate input can function either channel-to-channel, or as scalar. In the first case, each channel switches the gate of the corresponding channel in the input bus. In the seconds case, the Gate is connected to only one input channel, which switches all channels from S1 and S2 at the same time.
Output channel names and units are copied from the S1 input after first connection of the component.
Inputs S1 and S2 may be connected to a feedback channel bus, but note that the input that comes from a feedback loop is delayed one sample period.
