The Gates and Clocks of the 0- CTRL
The 0- CTRL features a large number of Gate inputs and outputs. The Gate inputs are indicated on the panel
by concentric circles around the jacks. You may patch gates from inside or outside the 0- CTRL to these jacks
in order to program the 0- CTRL .
The Gate outputs are Touch Gate, Dynamic Gate, eight Step Gates, and the Clock Output. Any combination of
Gate outputs may be “stacked” (OR-combined, to get technical) by using a stacking patch cable or multiple to
send more than one of them to the same destination.
The Touch Gate goes high while any of the Step touchplates are being touched, and stays high until none of
them are.
The Dynamic Gate goes high every time the 0- CTRL is clocked, and stays high for 60% of one pulse at the
current clock rate. Unlike the other Gate outputs, its amplitude/”height” per Step is determined by the
Strength channel. When a Step has a Strength setting of less than about 9:00 (depends upon Strength
Attenuator setting) no Gate will be generated for that Step. The Dynamic Gate Output is a Gate sequencer,
and allows for controlling not only if a gate is generated per step, but also the amplitude of that gate. (See
diagram on p. 21.
When the Dynamic Gate is patched to a Dynamic Gate Input such as the 0-Coast Contour Gate, the Strength
channel can set the level of the resulting envelope’s Sustain phase.
