CV/Gate
Manual for Hex Composer v0.18.0. This is an archived snapshot. Corrections can be suggested on the current version of this page.
External control voltage and gate input, carried on the audio interface’s own channels beyond the stereo pair. Channels 1 and 2 stay dedicated to stereo audio in; up to 12 further channels can be read as CV or Gate.
Nothing appears in the CV/Gate tab until a channel is configured. Each one
is set up in Settings > Audio > CV/Gate Channels:
| Control | Notes |
|---|---|
| Mode | Off, CV (continuous, read as a smoothed 0 to 1 value), or Gate (trigger, read as 0 or 1). Set per channel; there is no fixed split between the two. |
| Range | 0-5V, +/-5V, +/-10V, or +/-2.5V. CV channels only. |
Configured channels then appear as sources named for their physical input
and mode, Ch 3 (CV) or Ch 4 (Gate), each with a live meter beside it for
calibrating against the incoming signal.
