CV → Trigger
Fires an event when CV crosses a threshold on the way up
Open in the synth with a demo patch Open ModularWhat it does
CV → Trigger goes the other way: it makes events out of a control signal. It watches the input, and the moment the signal crosses Threshold from below (a rising edge) it fires a note of Gate length; while the signal stays above the threshold nothing more happens, it has to fall and rise again. That turns an LFO into a clock, a Follower on the microphone into a hit detector, and any CV into a source of rhythm.

- out
- An event on every upward crossing of the threshold
Parameters
Threshold · Gate
Try this
- LFO (square, 2 Hz) → CV → Trigger → Voice Note: a clock that ignores the BPM.
- Audio In → Follower → CV → Trigger → Sampler Note: a hand clap fires the sample.
- Drop Threshold to 0.1 with a Smooth random LFO and the events come in uneven bursts.
