Tips: Examples of using Gate
Using a foot switch to apply pitch bend to specific notes
Byusing“ControlAtNote‐OnOnly,”youcanapplyan
effectonlytoaspecificnote‐on.Forexample:
1. SetGateControl“Source”toFootSW:#82.(Youʹllneed
toconnectafootswitch,setGlobal:Controllers“Type
SW/Pedal”toSwitch,andset“FootSWFunction”to
FootSwitch(CC#82)beforeyoucontinuewiththefol‐
lowingprocedure.)
2. Set“ControlAtNote‐OnOnly”toOn.
3. SettheThresholdto50.
4. SetBelowThresholdtoaFixedValueof+00.
5. SetAt&AboveThresholdtoAMSB:JSX.
6. OntheOSCPitchpage,assigntheAMSMixertocontrol
thepitch.
7. Turnoffthefootswitch,andwhileholdingdowna
chord,movethejoystickintheX‐direction.Thepitch
willnotchange.
(Ifthepitchchanges,gototheOSCPitchpageandset
Pitch“JS(+X)and“JS(–X)”to+00.)
8. Turnonthefootswitch,andaddanewnotetothe
previouschord.
9. MovethejoystickintheX‐direction;pitchbendwillbe
appliedonlytothenewly‐playednote.
Thenewnotewillbend,buttheoriginalchord(played
beforeyoupressedonthefoot‐switch)willnot.
Selective pitch-bend, using only the joystick
YoucanalsouseasingleAMSsourceasboththeControl
Sourceandavaluesource:
1. SettheControlSourcetoJSX.
2. SetControlAtNote‐OnOnlytoOn(checked).
3. SettheThresholdto00.
4. SetBelowThresholdtoAMSA:JSX.
5. SetAt&AboveThresholdtoaFixedValueof00.
6. OntheOSCPitchpage,assigntheAMSMixertocontrol
thepitch.
7. Withthejoystickinthecenter,playachord,andholdit
throughstep9.
8. Bendthejoysticktotheleft,andthenplayanewnote
abovethechord.
(Ifthepitchchanges,gototheOSCPitchpageandset

Generating a static value
Sometimes,itcanbehandytohaveapresetvalueasan
