COMP

Comparator: turns a CV into a gate when it crosses a threshold. This is how a gate is DERIVED rather than born — the loop that makes generative patches possible.

The COMP card as vimsynth draws it: its title bar, 2 knobs, 2 inputs down the left edge and 2 outputs down the right
COMP on an empty rack — 32×12 cells, knobs at their defaults. Press a in the app and pick COMP to get this card.

inputs

Down the left edge of the card, top to bottom.

incv
The signal to watch.
threshcv
Modulates the threshold it must cross.

outputs

Down the right edge, in the same order.

gategate
High while the input is over the threshold.
gate¬gate
The opposite. Handy for ducking one thing while another sounds.

knobs

Left to right across the face — the dials in the picture.

thresh-1 … 1= 0
The level the input must cross.
hyst0 … 0.5= 0.02
Hysteresis: how far it must fall back before the gate closes again. Stops a noisy signal from chattering.
