1.3. Rear panel overview, part 1

1.3.1. Pitch/Velo/Gate outputs

These are normally used together to send electrical signals to an external device such
as Arturia's powerhouse monophonic analog synthesizers (MatrixBrute, MiniBrute/SE, and
MicroBrute/SE) or to a modular analog synthesizer. The Pitch output is often referred to as
Control Voltage or CV.

1.3.2. Drum Gate outputs

These outputs correspond to pads 1-8 (the bottom row of pads) when the Drum sequencer is
selected. When these pads are played manually or as part of a pattern they will send trigger
pulses to the Drum gate outputs, which in turn can be used to trigger a sound on an external
device.

♪: Only the Gate on/off signals are transmitted for pads 1-8 from these connectors. In contrast, the
MIDI connector sends Velocity and Gate Time information for all 16 pads. Read more about the
Gates here [p.78].
