Traffic - Trigger-based CV controller
Jasmine & Olive Trees

Trigger-based CV controller with random modes

A powerful trigger-based CV controller, designed to take your macro oscillators to the next level. Explore new sonic territories with ease and create a complete drum set with the modules you already have.

Imagine you want to use a Plaits or a Basimilus as a kick, but you feel that this task is too small for such a beast. Maybe there is a way to modulate the BIA or the Plaits so you can also get a snare or a hi-hat from it in the same patch. In theory, you can use an 8 or 16 step sequencer to set CV values in a way that sets the module in those positions and with the rhythm that you want.

The problem with that solution is that it is very difficult to change rhythms or perform live changes like muting one of the sounds.

Using our controller, you can effectively control multiple sounds from a single oscillator using triggers, much like a preset selector. Imagine having 3 triggers that will instantly set a BIA or Plaits as a kick, snare, and hi-hat. Traffic will translate a drum sequence into CV values, these CV values will change just in time so when a kick trigger comes it will set the oscillator as a kick, and when a snare comes it will set the oscillator as a snare just in time. You can do that up to 3 triggers.

Our controller features 3 rows of 3 knobs, with each row having an output for the values of the knobs. You can select the active column of knobs using the trigger inputs. The three outputs are simultaneous, making this a 3 channel controller. Plus, the global trigger output sends a trigger whenever there is a trigger in any of the inputs, ensuring seamless synchronization of triggers and CV values.
