Trigger To MIDI2

Trigger To MIDI2 module

Trigger To MIDI2 is the reverse of MIDI-CV 2: it takes voltages from inside your patch and emits MIDI notes. Use it to play external gear, or another part of the patch, from a sequencer, an arpeggiator or logic you’ve built yourself. It’s under MIDI in the Module Browser, and replaces the Old-category Trigger to MIDI.

It adds a separate Trigger input, so a repeated note can be sent without the gate having to fall and rise first, and its Gate input is a boolean rather than a voltage.

PinTypeDescription
TriggerBoolSends a new note-on on a rising edge, even while Gate is still true
GateBoolNote on while true; note-off is sent when it goes false
PitchAudioPitch of the note (1 V/octave, 5 V = A440)
VelocityAudioVelocity of the note
ChannelControlMIDI channel to send on (All, or 1–16)
PinTypeDescription
MIDI OutMIDIThe generated MIDI stream

Feed MIDI Out to a MIDI Out module to reach hardware, or straight into another MIDI-CV 2 to play a second voice inside the same patch.

Drive Pitch from a Step Sequencer or a quantizer and clock Trigger from an LFO to build an arpeggiator; the pitch voltage is read at the moment the trigger fires.
