CV connections Gate inputs These are used for controlling the gates from other devices, using CV. When a gate input receives a CV value of 7 or higher, the gate will be opened. Higher values result in higher input level for the gate channel (i.e. the gates are velocity sensitive). • If you select an Alligator device and create a Matrix Pattern Sequencer, its gate output will be auto-routed to the first available Gate input. Also, the Matrix Curve CV output will be auto-routed to the corresponding CV Freq input on the Alligator. You can create up to three Matrix Pattern Sequencers with the Alligator selected and the Matrix devices will be auto-routed to separate Gate and CV Freq inputs on the Alligator. Note: If you want the gates to be controlled by CV only, you need to turn off the Pattern player on the front panel. Otherwise, the gate sources will be combined. CV Modulation inputs These jacks allow you to modulate the filter frequencies of the three filters, as well as the global LFO rate. Gate Outputs The three Gate outputs simply send out the current Gate values, regardless of whether these are controlled by the built-in pattern player, the buttons on the front panel, MIDI or CV. You can use these to trigger other sounds and effects in time with the gates. LFO CV Out This is the output of the built-in LFO, for modulating parameters in other devices.
