What are Gates?
A Gate is a signal whose main purpose is to initiate events or switch between states. Instead of being
continuous like CV, gates have only two states, Gate High and Gate Low. “Gate High” is usually a +8V
signal whose length (in time) is variable. “Gate Low” is 0V (or no signal at all).
The 0-CTRL features a large number of Gate outputs. They can be used to initiate notes, clock other
sequencers, and more. In fact, the 0-CTRL also has several Gate inputs, made for patching the 0-CTRL back
to itself. For example, patch any of the Step Gate outputs to the Direction input, and the 0-Ctrl’s direction
will switch direction every time it reaches that step. Use a stacking patch cable to patch multiple Steps to
Direction, and you can make the 0-CTRL “ping pong” back and forth between two Steps of your choice.
