Behaviors

Pulse extraction from motion span voltage changes

Any movement at Span can produce a new selected channel, a pulse stream, and parity gates. It turns continuous CV motion into repeatable rhythm information.

Clock-locked channel changes trigger into Trigger In

When Trigger In is patched, output channel updates only on incoming edges. That keeps extracted rhythms aligned to an external tempo or clock divider.

Channel index translation Span set fully CCW and attenuverter fully CW

With the reference settings from the manual, GTE translates Channel Index signals from PoliMATHS or MultiWAVE into discrete gates for downstream modules.

Odd/even split observe active channel parity

Odd and Even outputs report channel parity without needing to monitor the full eight-channel bank. It is a simple way to split a gesture into two related lanes.

Flam delivery multiple source channels active at once

When the source module presents multiple simultaneous channels, GTE turns them into a rapid run of triggers before settling on the final active channel.

Controls

Global Span Selects which channel region the input voltage is currently addressing.
higher voltage advances through 8 channels
Span Span Attenuverter Sets span sensitivity and polarity. Fully clockwise is the reference for Channel Index translation.
CCW: invert · noon: off · CW: normal
Global Space Sets the voltage distance required to traverse the channel set.
lower = denser activity · higher = wider spacing
