And don't forget to experiment with the mid and hi frequencies too. You never know what you'll come up with.

A gated reverb with a fast decay might be more the sort of thing your after thinking about it.

Also, sample the reverb and reverse it so that the end of the sample plays just on the off-beat.

I`m using the a ART progate-8, the sound is comprimised, alot of the juice from the tube pre-amp is attenuated, are all gates comprimising the sound, or do I just need to buy a better gate?

would'nt have thought a gate would compromise the sound, maybe a limiter or a compressor would. but a gate just shuts off, unless your driving it quite heavily.

The midiverb4 has a gate tacked onto the end of most of the reverbs, so buying a whole separate new gate seems a bit extravagant when you can have fx also for 180 quids.

Comprimised meaning that a hard driven signal(dry bass/kick) o/p from the gate is lower in dynamics, than on the i/p to the gate. I reckon the gate I`m using is a load of shyyyt, got it second hand anyway, or just driving the signal to heavily. For good sound I think it wise to get dedicated gate`s, especially for when mastering to c.d. A`int never going to get the sensitivity of a analogue gate on the midiverb, maybe a high priced digital algorhytm can do it but thats big bucks ..
