Using Gate Mode

8.4 Using Gate Mode
Gate mode is used to chop and pitch selected parts of your Sample by applying MIDI note
events in the Keyboard view of the Pattern Editor or by recording them using your controller.
Each event is a gate for the Sample; the length determines the duration of playback, and
placement on the scale determines the pitch. By chopping and pitching the loop you can cre-
ate melodies or even use it for effect on drums.
In Keyboard view, MIDI note events are visually layered on top of the Samples9 waveform and
can be edited or deleted at any time, and more importantly, the Sample can be changed at any
time while retaining the MIDI note events in the Pattern, meaning you can keep the phrasing
and melody but use a different Sample for the playback.
Gate mode in the Pattern Editor with a Sample and MIDI events.
