NAND

Outputs low logic only when both inputs are true; otherwise it stays high.

What it does #

NAND is an AND gate followed by inversion. Every input combination produces a high output except the case where both inputs are high.

Controls and ports #

Control	Label	Official description
table	Truth table	A  B NAND 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0

Practical uses #

• Create an inhibit condition that turns off only when two requirements coincide.
• Build more complex logic from a functionally complete single gate type.
• Invert an AND condition without adding a separate NOT module.

Things to know #

• NAND is commutative.
• With either input low, the output is high.
• It is the exact Boolean complement of AND.

Technical details #

A high-confidence Nitro implementation candidate supports the technical summary, but the visible-module mapping remains inferred.

Boolean function: out = !(a && b). The installed truth table and exact-name Nitro wrapper confirm a two-input/one-output logic contract, although the recovered wrapper has no explicit process body.

Nitro port	Type
a	InputValuePortType
b	InputValuePortType
c	OutputValuePortType

Open questions #

• Measure Boolean conversion for negative and fractional input values.

Version and sources #

Checked against Bitwig Studio 6.0.6. This page combines Bitwig's module metadata, the existing Grid course and guides, and Nitro analysis where the mapping is strong enough to support a technical statement.
