Notes node
Gate
Controls how long each note rings out with a single hold-time knob. At 0 it's a passthrough; above 0 it ignores the real note-off and schedules its own fixed duration for every note.
What it does
Gate is a note node: it makes, filters or changes notes before a synth plays them. It takes notes in and gives notes out.
Try it
Set a short fixed hold time to turn held chords into a clean, staccato pattern.
Inputs and outputs
Inputs
- notes notes
Outputs
- notes out
Controls
Every control with a range can be driven by a modulator, a note, an audio level or a sketch.
| Control | Range or options | Default |
|---|---|---|
| hold | 0 to 3000 | 0 |
