OR

Outputs high logic when either input condition, or both, are true.

What it does #

OR merges two logic conditions. The output is low only when both inputs are low, making it useful for combining alternate trigger or gate sources.

Controls and ports #

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

Practical uses #

• Merge a manual trigger and a sequencer trigger into one event path.
• Enable a process from either of two independent conditions.
• Combine sparse rhythmic gates without summing them above the normal logic level.

Things to know #

• OR is commutative.
• When both inputs are high, the output remains the single high logic value rather than summing to 2.
• Use XOR instead when simultaneous high inputs should cancel.

Technical details #

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

Boolean function: out = a || b. For documented 0/1 signals it is equivalent to max(a, b). The installed truth table and exact-name Nitro wrapper agree on the port 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.
