The ATOV Gaeto is a new type of clocked logic module. Gaeto is a great module to play around with triggers, gates and legatos — turning one into the other. As a result we decided to name the module Gaeto, from "Gate" and "Legato".

Some of the functions that the module can perform are:

• ÷2 ÷3 Clock divider
• Legato generator
• Trigger to gate converter
• Rhythm quantizer
• Sub octave generator with PWM
• Generative trigger sequence

The Gaeto's core operation is simple:

"If the signal on the data input has been high, then the output is high at the next clock. If not — the non-output is high."

In other words, if the input signal goes over 1V the memory stores a 1; if not, it stores a 0. At the next clock, the output is high if a 1 was stored, and the non-output is high if a 0 was stored.

The output is coupled with an AND gate that allows the outputs to either follow the pulse width of the clock or be maintained high until the next clock. This function is also CV controllable for interesting rhythm modulations.

This simple operation allows for an extremely wide range of uses. This is a module that rewards exploration.

Additionally, multiple Gaetos can be chained together using the included cable to create shift register functions.

This design relies on CMOS CD4000 series ICs (4013 and 4081), selected for their reliability, high speed and low power consumption.

Available with Silver and Black panels, either pre-assembled or as a DIY kit.
