Make Noise Press Point

The Press Point music synthesizer module is a controller in which several signals are generated by touching the printed copper wire at the bottom of the instrument.  Touching PrssPnt, you become part of the circuit, generating a total of four simultaneous signals (two CV, two Gate). 

The basic function of PrssPnt will be familiar to anyone who has used Pressure Points or 0-CTRL. It could be seen as a single “souped-up” channel of one of these devices. Since it is a single channel, the tuned voltage outputs are not relevant, and instead are replaced with more playable sensitivity controls and alternate pressure and gate outputs.

Features

• Momentary Gate output remains high as long as it is being pressed
• Toggled Gate output goes high and low with each successive press of the plate: press it to make it go high, press it again to make it go low
• Pressure output generates a positive control signal proportional to the amount of Pressure applied, further affected by the Sensitivity Panel Control
• Smooth Touch Function mimics the useful patch of sending a Pressure Output through a carefully tuned slew limiter for extended function generation 
• Turning up the Slew amount will allow for larger than life functions with very long decay to be generated by hand.
• All four outputs available simultaneously
