A Gate, however, is a signal that’s separate from the physical switches, and it’s a digital signal. In fact, a Gate signal may come from a switch (keyboard), or it may come from some other source such as a sequencer, a clock, or some other module. In that sense, Gate is a pure digital signal, as pure as any definition of digital could be.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Without trying to either avoid or adhere to any definitions, just my gut feeling, I'd call the Gate signal a LOGIC signal. It doesn't really matter if it's considered analog or digital, because DIGITAL essentially implies that the signal is supposed to be *used* in a digital fashion - as discretely encoded numbers of some sort. And a Gate in itself doesn't have to be. It can be just a timing signal, for instance when triggering a non-gated AD envelope. :-)</div><div><br></div><div>/mr</div></div></div>
