wanted to share a recent eureka moment for me and my stock CB55
i built it without any trigger conditioning - 5 inputs, 5 outputs
previously i have had success using standard triggers (5v - 10ms) to trigger all of the sounds BUT i found the response to be quite uneven.
the other day on a whim i decided to output my MN Function module (eurorack eg generator) to drive a hihat (cymbal) pattern on the CB
by varying the envelope settings i was able to totally sculpt the tone of my cb55 voice, from attack, decay, brightness etc. i was amazed at the range i could get - super easy to add modulation to that signal etc...
duplicated the test on the snare to even better effect. tonight i am going to run the this same patch on the other three voices.
just wanted to share :)
