I use the NDLR and some MIDI to CV magic to play a few analog synths. All good.
My problem starts when I would like to trigger an envelope generator (a Roland 540) every time the drone chord changes. I can't do that, because the gate coming out of the drone is always up...
... except every few minutes when - I don't know what happens - perhaps some electrical hiccup actually interrupts the gate for an instant and the envelope starts. I like the serendipity but that's not what I wanted :-)
I hoped that the solution was in the trigger / cadence settings of the drone, but so far I had no luck, the gate is always up. Any suggestions?
For the time being I could solve the problem in an incredibly convoluted way, though fun to describe. The note (aka, the voltage) from the NLDR goes into a quantizer (Expert Sleepers' Disting). The quantizer triggers a trigger when it detects the change of note. The trigger goes then into Make Noise Maths that transforms it into a gate, and that gate finally goes into the envelope generator.
Looking forward to your advice!
