CV Trig/Gate Tool

Ekssperimental Sounds Studio

Where to get itAvailable from Ekssperimental Sounds Studioreasonstudios.com

CV Trig/Gate Tool is a 4-channel trigger/gate processor designed to clean up and shape event streams in CV modulation patches. It converts incoming triggers into consistent gates, generates ratcheted repeats at selectable rates, and sits between clock/logic sources and downstream modules that need crisp, retrievable timing. Four identical channels make it easy to layer rhythms and timing effects without adding complexity.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

014 identical channels with independent Length and Rate controls
02Trig In/Out with ~10 ms fixed trigger pulse and rising-edge detection
03Gate In/Out with user-set duration (0.01 s to 10 s free-running, or tempo divisions)
04Ratchet Out: 50% duty repeating gate at chosen rate (0.05 Hz to 50 Hz free, or tempo divisions)
05Length CV and Rate CV bipolar offsets (−1 to +1, additive with knobs)
06Normalled routing: Trig In normalled to Gate In; Gate Out normalled to Ratchet In
07Sync mode: both Length and Rate follow tempo divisions from 1/64 to 16/1
08Forced LOW dip (2 DSP batches) at end of every gate for clean retriggering

Things to Try

  • 01Patch a single clock/trigger into one channel's Trig In and use the normalized Gate Out to drive another module with a defined gate length
  • 02Layer two channels with different Ratchet rates, each fed from the same clock, to create polyrhythmic repeat patterns
  • 03Use one channel's Gate Out as a manual burst window by patching a performance gate into its Ratchet In, so repeats only occur while you hold the gate
  • 04Patch messy triggers into Trig In and use Gate Out as a 'note length quantizer' to convert irregular timing into consistent gate durations
