ANA Patch - Voltage to Trigger Sequence Converter

video upload by Mystic Circuits

"Here is a patch where we use Ana to extract a pair of trigger sequences from an incoming voltage sequence using the BOX output. While BOX normally outputs a 3-level square wave involving a positive and negative pulse, we can use a second ANA to invert the BOX signal for our second trigger sequence as most trigger inputs will ignore the negative portion of the signal. This patch can give you some interesting ways to riff on an incoming musical theme either by turning knobs or with incoming modulation. It's also a great example of the advantages of analog logic over digital logic, even when we are expecting gates at our output we are processing continuous voltages and getting useful behavior from it.

I am going to just mention that the editing on this video is a little sloppy, I am doing a lot of experiments with the filming setup as I am figuring out how to streamline filming/ editing/ posting as much as possible. There has been some experimentation with lighting, camera positioning, etc. during this process so I appreciate your patience as we figure this out."
