1.3. Rear panel overview, part 1

1.3.1. Pitch/Velo/Gate outputs

These are normally used together to send electrical signals to an external device such

as Arturia’s powerhouse monophonic analog synthesizers (MatrixBrute, MiniBrute/SE, and

MicroBrute/SE) or to a modular analog synthesizer. The Pitch output is often referred to as

Control Voltage or CV.

1.3.2. Drum Gate outputs

These outputs correspond to pads 1-8 (the bottom row of pads) when the Drum sequencer is

selected. When these pads are played manually or as part of a pattern they will send trigger

pulses to the Drum gate outputs, which in turn can be used to trigger a sound on an external

device.

: Only the Gate on/off signals are transmitted for pads 1-8 from these connectors. In contrast, the

MIDI connector sends Velocity and Gate Time information for all 16 pads. Read more about the
