[sdiy] CV to trigger...

Do you mean (like) taking a keyboard
CV and getting a trigger every time the voltage
changes ?

~or~ just one that triggers every time the voltage
crosses some threshold ???

A schmitt trigger would give you a 'gate' signal..
it would be a constant level once the input was
above the threshold. To make a 'trigger' from this you
have to form a short pulse.

If you are looking for the first option... it would
take
a lot more than a schmitt trigger to do it, but it can
be done pretty easliy
