Lol! For the longest time I thought the "MidiTrig" module was a module that sent data based on velocity or midi notes, but I read the manual and discovered it's actually for limiting data, is this correct?

For a while now I've been trying to use it as a modulator to do things like note panning:
This setup would make low notes pan left and high notes pan right. This is something I do a lot to make mono synths sound stereo.

At the same time, if you were to create a keyboard tracking module, you could implement a feature to set which note is the middle note and also include velocity tracking. Higher velocity could pan right or left.

First of all, sorry for the slow reply...

That is correct.

No. not that I know of

MidiTrig received midi note and velocity info and handles these as two separate signals. You can scale the amplitude of the note signal, using the "note" knob, and likewise scale the velocity signal using the "velocity" knob.

The two signals are then mixed based on the "mix" knob.
If the mix knob is turned full right, only the velocity signal will be output.
On the other hand, if the mix knob is turned full left only the note signal will be output. Any other setting will blend the two signals.

Your drawn setup should work, just make to turn the mix knob full left to only output the note modulation signal.

Maybe I should clarify this in the manual.

Oh, you know why I was confused? The effect is too subtle! I have an 88 key keyboard and I have to play the highest note and the lowest note for the synth to pan hard left and right. If there was a way to increase the effect, it might be a good idea!

.....and if you are going to update the MidiTrig it would also be helpful to be able to set that note is considered the middle note... I could make feature requests for ever though. I have no idea what features YOU would like to see in YOUR OWN product.
