ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 155
10.8.2 Audio Mod as Trigger
The Trigger Module of the Audio Mod page activates envelope progressions of a freely select-
able Module of the Patch Window. If you use this function to Trigger any of the Oscillator
Amplitude envelopes Oscil A through C, the Trigger Module produces certain Note-On and
Note-Off commands without your having to push a button. Additionally, not all, but rather
only certain Modules of ABSYNTH5 and its envelopes will be restarted, which makes for a
contrast between ABSYNTH5 and traditional MIDI Trigger Signals.
This is best understood from a practical viewpoint, if you use ABSYNTH5 as an Effect: The
Trigger Module produces a Note-On command as soon as the threshold in Threshold dB control
is exceeded. In this case, set the Envelope switch to Pre Rev in order to prevent the envelopes
that have yet to be started from silencing the Effect Input Signal. More specic information
on the envelopes and their control possibilities can be found in chapter 8 “Envelope Window”.
