CV → Trigger

Fires an event when CV crosses a threshold on the way up

Open in the synth with a demo patch Open Modular

What 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.

Try this

Turn LFO movement into triggers that can play a Drum.

Ports

in: The CV to watch
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.
