It contains controls for soft, edit mode, sync and wet.
soft: the soft control sets the envelope shape of the gate for each step
value. A lower setting of the soft control creates a sharper envelope
shape that produces a more pronounced gating effect. increasing the
value of the control “smoothes” the envelope creating a more pulsing,
tremolo-like sound.
edit mode: the edit mode is used to set the way that the Gator's step
buttons respond to user input. This control has three settings: normal,
Link and XLink. When set to “normal”, each step button can be switched
on and off independently of any other button. When set to Link, the step
buttons for the left and right patterns are linked together so that switching
either button turns both buttons on or off. When set to XLink, the step
buttons for the left and right patterns are linked together, however in this
case they work in a complementary manner—when one button is on, the
