NOR

Outputs high logic only when both inputs are false.

What it does #

NOR is an OR gate followed by inversion. Any active input forces the output low; only two inactive inputs produce a high state.

Controls and ports #

Control	Label	Official description
table	Truth table	A  B NOR 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0

Practical uses #

• Detect that no gate or activity condition is present.
• Enable a fallback branch only while both primary branches are inactive.
• Build larger logic networks from a functionally complete gate type.

Things to know #

• NOR is commutative.
• It is the exact Boolean complement of OR.
• Any true input immediately makes the result false.

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 the two-input/one-output logic contract.

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.
