If you want to play live, without sequencing the gated channel, another option is an effect box...

I have a Boss VF-1 and it have a SLICER effect, with works like an gate.

yes but can you input the slice points..so it doesn'r sound like a wah wah effect...I'm gonna research that unit now..if you can set slice points I'll be sure to pick one up.

I have to look more on this effect, but what I remember is you can't enter your slice pattern, but you can choose from various preseted patterns.

The Boss GT-6 has this effect too.. And the new synths with COSM fx processor may have it too...

I have a Roland Rs-5 and it has one.

The Motif ES has a Slicer insert effect as well. It's wonderful!

Originally posted by Limit well its pretty easy...set up a midi track, record the notes u want to play(or not0 double click teh midi track to open it. Then in the controller display(on the bottom in sx) choose volume(u might have to add it yourself from the menu)...now set where u want the volume to go in and out in the controller lane with the pencil tool. Now you have your custom made fully functioning gate..and you can play it live too.

would that be the same a applying a square wave LFO to modulate the volume?

well no...since the square wave pulses in one legnth per pulse...it is possible to route the squre lfo to lets say a envelop but you would still not get teh same effect. See what you can do with the midi implementation is set any, I guess you could call it gate points, instead of just having fixed points with the LFO. So all in all you get a more interesting gating function.
