I'm not looking at the schematic, but it seems likely that it is an inverter AND a +5V offset. Normally, 5V would invert to -5V, but if you follow that with an accurate +5V offset, 5V in becomes 0V out. This way, it doesn't matter what the first signal is, how long it is, or what color patch cord you use. There would need to be a rectifier at the front end so that negative voltages are ignored if you were to patch in a square LFO instead of a gate/clock signal

I'm not a professional, but this might be exactly how it's done.

For example if I plug in a jack lets say with gate lengths of 2 seconds that goes: 5v, 0v, 5v, 0v.
It will invert this to 2 second gates of 0v, 5v, 0v, 5v.

Simple.

But if I plug in a jack and the very first signal is a 2 second gate of 0v followed by 5v.
How does it know to change the first 0v to 5v as it has not yet received a 5v signal.

Is there some kind of comparitor that 'predicts' the incoming positive voltage before it arrives.
or does it just default to 5v
