Macro Trigger

A momentary bang pad: it fires to 1 the instant you press it and drops back to 0 the instant you release, with its own flash so you can see exactly when it fired.

What it does

Macro Trigger is a macro control: a knob, slider or pad you play by hand and wire to many things. It has no input and gives control signal out, so it starts a chain.

Try it

Wire it into a Particle System's emit rate for a hand-triggered burst on demand.
