Frequently Asked Questions

They are unipolar gates, meaning they output a high signal when triggered and are typically used for triggering envelopes or sequencers.
While you *can* split audio, passive multiples are best suited for CV signals to avoid potential signal loss or phase issues with audio.
It's in line with Behringer's current standard – functional and affordable, but the plastic housing is a noticeable cost-saving measure compared to their higher-end offerings.
