Yes you are missing something ;-) The sentence of the day is: A gate is 
nothing than a voltage too!

A gate is 5Volts. If you send this gate into the channel a mixer, and 
turn down the "volume" of this channel the half, then the mixer will 
output 2.5 Volts.

Ok, now you take the first four outputs of a A-161. Step by step each 
output will have 5 Volts. Now every output is connected to the input of 
the mixer. At the mixer you adjust each channel with another "volume". 
Lets say, the first is half, the second is fully counterclockwise, the 
third is at quarter position and the fourth at 3/4 position.
So the Mixer will output 2.5 Volts with the first step of the gate 
sequence;  0 Volts with the second step; 1.25 Volts with the third step 
and 3.75 Volts with the fourth step.

As you see the Mixer "converts" the gatesequence into a voltage sequence.
