Make Noise GTE

CV to Trigger Interface

The GTE (Gestural Time Extractor) from Make Noise is an analog pulse extractor and channel index translator that generates trigger signals from the course of a control voltage. From the "movement" of the signal at the span input, the module derives up to eight individual triggers and a GTE pulse stream, which represents the speed of movement of the input signal; as well as two gate outputs, which represent the activity on the even and odd channels. The SPACE parameter is used to determine the threshold proximity of the channels to each other and thus also the sensitivity and responsiveness of the GTE and other outputs. When using the clock input, the outputs of the GTE only change when a trigger, Gates or a clock is received, so that changes can be easily synchronized with other existing events in the system. When all controls are set to the minimum or maximum output position, the GTE also acts as a channel index translator for PoliMATHS and other New Universal Synthesizer System modules that generate channel index signals, allowing individual channel gates to be accurately derived from activity on the source module's respective channels. The GTE can also be used to generate repeatable and controllable rhythm and timing information from any analog signal, whether arbitrary or targeted, and is also useful for generating individual voice timing signals within a polyphonic N.U.S.S. system.
