Description
gator is a probability-based, tempo-synced step-sequenced gate by de la Mancha. It switches volume between two adjustable values, with an LFO, pulse-length, attack, and decay controls for turning sustained audio into rhythmic patterns.
The sequencer supports two to 32 steps across two to 32 beats, and each step can be programmed or randomized from 0–100% probability. Seeded randomization creates repeatable patterns, while swing, wet/dry mix, and MIDI Learn add performance control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can gator create repeatable random gate patterns?
Yes. Its seeded randomization can generate repeatable loops up to 100 beats long, while each step's probability can be set from 0–100%.
How long can a gator sequence be?
The step sequencer supports 2–32 steps over a sequence length of 2–32 beats. The source also lists longer repeatable loops through seeded randomization.
Can I shape each gate pulse?
Yes. Pulse length, attack, and decay controls shape the triggered volume movement, and a tempo-synced LFO can add another layer of modulation.
