CV/Gate

External control voltage and gate input, carried on the audio interface’s own channels beyond the stereo pair. Channels 1 and 2 stay dedicated to stereo audio in; up to 12 further channels can be read as CV or Gate.

Nothing appears in the CV/Gate tab until a channel is configured. Each one is set up in Settings > Audio > CV/Gate Channels:

Control Notes
Mode Off, CV (continuous, read as a smoothed 0 to 1 value), or Gate (trigger, read as 0 or 1). Set per channel; there is no fixed split between the two.
Range 0-5V, +/-5V, +/-10V, or +/-2.5V. CV channels only.

Configured channels then appear as sources named for their physical input and mode, Ch 3 (CV) or Ch 4 (Gate), each with a live meter beside it for calibrating against the incoming signal.
