Type: nodetool.audio.synth.Gate
Namespace: nodetool.audio.synth
Description
Generates a repeating on/off gate CV pattern — the patch’s master clock. cv, synthesis, gate, trigger, clock, modular
Emits `amplitude` for on_duration seconds, 0 for off_duration, cycling wall-clock paced until the run is stopped. Drive an ADSR with it; every node downstream is sample-aligned to it by construction and paced with it.
Use cases:
- Trigger envelopes rhythmically
- Master clock for clocked LFOs and sample & hold
- Heartbeat of a live patch
