The dedicated gate outputs also act as CV ins, so it's not possible to
buffer them with a level-shifter without losing the input function.
They also need to be un-buffered if they're going to be usable as S-trigs.
I can enable the use of CV ports for gates, so unless you need all 16 for
CVs, you can use some CV pins for 10V gates, and won't need any extra
circuitry.

I'm surprised you need 10V for a minikorg.
The usual mods have a much lower theshold than that.
The System 100 gate input should really be 14V. The external gate input is
buffered with an emitter follower, so even with a 10V gate, you're not
driving the envelope generator with the same level it would get internally.
