DRUM TRIGGER

Controls

• Note0 to 127 — The MIDI note each hit plays.
• Threshold−60 to 0 dB — Level a hit must reach to trigger.
• Retrigger10 to 500 ms — Shortest time between two hits (stops double triggers).
• Dynamics0 to 100% — How much the velocity follows the hit: 100% maps Threshold..0 dBFS to 1..127, 0% gives every hit 100.
• Detector HPF20 to 2000 Hz — High-pass on the detector, to keep lower drums out.
• Detector LPF50 to 20000 Hz — Low-pass on the detector, to keep cymbals out.
• Note Length10 to 1000 ms — How long each note lasts.
• Channel1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16 — MIDI channel of the notes.

• Turning a drum loop into MIDI
• Driving a synth from a drum's rhythm

Properties

Input (passes through) → mono sum → 12 dB/oct detector high-pass and low-pass → peak follower (5 ms release) → trigger (Threshold, Retrigger, 3 dB hysteresis) → 2 ms velocity window → note-on, note-off after Note Length. Incoming MIDI passes through at its own sample. About 2 ms from onset to note-on.
