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 None 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.
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
GATE
select
from the Cell Type list. The gate sequencer grid 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 cycle 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 sequence will
Len
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. The
Count
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.
Layer
The letter of the layer you are configuring.
Each layer can have different values for the
other parameters.
MIDI
The MIDI Channel that will be used when
sending out the MIDI signal for this cell.
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.
MIDI
The MIDI output jack on the Toolbox module
Port
where the MIDI signal for this cell will be
sent.
