GATE
You should really know what this does by now…
Notes are only sent on steps with gate turned on.
TIE
As the name suggests, tie joins one step to the next.
Tie should be set on the first step of two steps to be tied.
If the same note value is set on tied steps, only a single note is played.
The note will last from the start of the first step, until the end of the second step set by its length value.
If tie is used on a step where the next step has a different note value, then the first note will over -lap
the second note – that is, the first note will not be released until just after the second note starts.
Note that you can tie as many contiguous steps together as you like.
Same notes will stretch, and different notes will over-lap.
*TIP If you are using a monophonic synth with an auto- or legato- slide feature, you can use the TIE
setting to trigger TB303-style slides.
