[2] Gate Length (GATE) button
When in Edit mode, press this button to edit the gate length for all steps in the selected Track
(each track has its own gate length setting). Gate Length editing is available when the GATE
button glows red .
When editing gate lengths, the top row of buttons sets the actual length. The leftmost buttons
pin the gate length to the width of the input pulse; the rightmost button makes a gate last the
full width of the step (allowing for ties). Middle values result in steadily increasing gates of
fixed length, with the shortest gates occurring toward the left, and growing increasingly longer
as you move to the right.
To set the Gate Length for the selected track, simply press the top row button corresponding
to the desired value. If you long-press (>1 sec) the value button, you apply the Gate Length
setting to all four tracks simultaneously.
In the following example, the Gate Length is set to a value slightly more than halfway between
“short” and “long.”
