Thresh

Performance comparator

Timo Rozendal Thresh
Thresh from Timo Rozendal is an expander module for the Automator, but thanks to its universal design it can work in any modular system independently. Using a unipolar CV input, your signal gets split and mapped across six regions of outputs, four of which have up and down outputs that change based on the setting. A set of four different up/down settings let you open gates or send out triggers based on the direction the CV input is moving and when regions change. Each setting has subtleties that can help trigger percussive sounds or samples, open up effects, or navigate your complex patch with style. Three different trigger modes change overall behavior that allow for exclusive or simultaneous triggers as well as adjusting how the un-paired 1st and 6th channel behave. A Quantize button will only allow changes when the clock pulse is present. Whether you have an Automator or any other gestural interaction module, the Thresh is a flexible and powerful tool.

Thresh Features
* Expander for Automator, but can work independently
* Unipolar CV utility for expressive voltage generation
* 6 Channels of trigger/gate outputs
* Channels 2–5 have independently Up and Down outputs
* Interaction varies based on modes and settings

Comparator, but then a bunch more (mostly sending triggers instead of gates), with a possibility to sync those to incoming clock. Top, bottom, and 4 up/down states inbetween. 10 outputs.

Top button toggles between response of R2-R5: they either toggle gate on (useful when you want to change the sound depending on direction) when moving ↓ , and toggle gate off when moving ↑, or they fire triggers like L1-L6 when moving ↓ (useful when triggering different sounds per direction).

Lower button toggles quantization to incoming clock.

Top and lower button combo toggles between modes:

1. RED
   L1-L6: triggered when moving ↑
   R2-R5: triggered when moving ↓, or toggled on when moving ↓ and toggled off when moving ↑

2. GREEN / allows retriggering of the same output from both directions.
   L1-L6: generally triggered when moving ↑ but can be retriggered with focused movement
   R2-R5: generally triggered when moving ↓, or toggled on when moving ↓ and toggled off when moving ↑ but can be retriggered with focused movement

3. WHITE / useful for longer duration notes
   L1: gate on at threshold (use this for longer duration notes)
   L6: gate on at threshold
   L2-L5: triggered when moving ↑
   R2-R5: triggered when moving ↓, or toggled on when moving ↓ and toggled off when moving ↑

4. LIGHTBLUE / useful when you want to change the sound depending on direction and speed
   L1-L6: triggered when moving ↑ or ↓
   R5: gate if ↑ velocity above certain threshold
   R4: trigger when direction is ↑
   R3: trigger when direction is ↓
   R2: gate if ↓ velocity above certain threshold

5. PURPLE / useful for shaker sound that triggers with every change of direction
   L1-L6: triggered when moving ↑ or ↓
   R5: gate if velocity above certain threshold
   R4: gate when direction is ↑
   R3: gate when direction is ↓
   R2: trigger when direction changes
