Configure a Gate Sequencer (GATE)
A Gate Sequencer is a useful way to create a repeating pattern of ON and OFF signals. These signals are then
typically used to trigger notes or effects in other modules. For toolbox, the GATE output signal for the ON state will
be +5V, and for the OFF state will be 0V. The Gate Sequencer output is monophonic. The Gate Sequencer will also
send output to the specified MIDI channel, if something other than the DEFAULT channel is selected for the MIDI
channel for this cell. The Gate Sequencer will send Note 64 to the specified MIDI channel when the sequencer state
is ON.
Because the CV Output jacks do not support GATE signals, the GATE Sequencer will only generate a MIDI signal
when used in these columns.
You configure the steps in the sequence by using the control knobs and touch screen to control which steps in the
sequence are ON or OFF. To edit a Gate Sequence:
1.
Press the HOME button if needed to return to the Main Screen.
2.
Touch one of the GATE cells to display the Gate Sequencer screen. To change a
cell to a GATE cell, touch the Cell Type button in the top row just to the right of the
Grid icon and select
displays a series of boxes that control whether the gate signal is on (light blue) or
off (gray) at each step in the sequence. The sequence starts with step 1 in the
lower left corner and scrolls right then up. During playback, a white outline will
move through the sequence of boxes to show the current playback position.
3.
Touch a box in the sequence grid to change its state.
4.
Press the INFO button to toggle the display between the Gate Sequencer screen
and the Gate Parameters screens for this gate sequencer.
5.
Use the Control Knobs to adjust the values of the following parameters:
Parameter
Description
Step
Controls the length of time the
Len
sequence will spend on each step, in
terms of fractions of a bar.
Quant
Defines precisely when to restart the
Size
sequence when using the internal
clock. When the sequence ends,
toolbox will wait until the start of the
next Quant Size interval to restart the
sequence.
Step
The number of steps in the sequence.
Count
The number of boxes on the screen
will remain the same, but if a value
lower than 32 is selected, the
sequencer will only move through the
number of steps selected.
Clk
This parameter allows you to use an
Source
alternative input as the clock signal. By
default, the toolbox internal clock (INT)
will be used.
