Modulators node
Note to CV
Converts an incoming note stream's pitch into a normalized control voltage, holding the last played note's pitch rather than falling back to zero on release — a pitch tracker, not a gate.
What it does
Note to CV is a modulator: it makes a moving value that can drive any control on the canvas. It takes notes in and gives control signal out.
Try it
Track incoming melody pitch and use it to modulate a filter cutoff so higher notes open the filter.
