Modulators node

CV Recorder

Records any modulator you patch in. Press Rec, perform a gesture, and it loops the take back with adjustable speed and low and high range. Takes are timed in beats, follow the tempo, pause with the transport, and are saved with the patch.

What it does

CV Recorder is a modulator: it makes a moving value that can drive any control on the canvas. It takes control signal in and gives control signal out.

Try it

Record a hand-played XY Motion Pad swirl, then loop it into Twirl.
