triggers is a flexible module-based synth environment. you start out with a blank grid and shape your interface the way you want it, by making operators in forms of different shapes.

requirements: monome 15-vari-bright, 64/128/256

recommended: 128/256

edit/play

  • bottom leftmost button switches between play/edit mode
  • edit mode: make/delete operators by pressing appropriate shapes
  • play mode: interact with these operators by touching them as described below

operators

oscillator

  • x = not yet assigned
  • pressing all 4 cells toggles mute on/off
  • freemode: when holding a mode and a param button, releasing the mode button first will make the param dec/inc until stopped again.
    • stopping freemode is done by releasing the mode button last

envelope

the connector button

  • while holding the connector button:
    • Pressing any of the 4 cells in an oscillator connects/disconnects the envelope to that parameter. active connections are displayed with a lid cell.
    • Pressing anywhere in a sequencer, places the envelope there
    • NOTE: envelope diagram in "help" in triggers is displaying incorrect positions. will fix with next update.

sequencer

  • edit mode: exactly two presses in one line
    • can be horizontal or vertical
    • vertical and horizontals can overlap, thus triggering the same notes in the intersection
  • play mode:
    • 1 press: jumps to position
    • 2 presses: makes innerloope
    • 3 presses: changes tempo

thanks to brian for letting me build upon a js for detecting shapes that he made

thanks to trent for inspiring conversations

thanks to kelli for useful feedback and an aeropress to keep me up at night

features for 1.0

  • arpeggi operator to do rapid pitch changes on oscsillators
  • step presses will have finer quantization also on slow tempo
  • envelope parameter visuals will have double the detail
  • possibility to make merging sequencers' playheads enter each other
  • combining envelopes
  • LFO mode for oscillators
  • sequencers can hold several envelopes in one cell
  • when holding an envelope connecter, only that envelope's active cells will show up in sequencers
  • visualization for param freemode if it's on
