not possible with the current hardware. this would need another trigger board with inpuits instead of outputs. (like the clock and reset inputs on the current trigger board.
the mainboard could handle it. so it would be possible to build it yourself with some minor code changes
You could build code and a break out module (like e.g. the vermona monolancet) so that we could leave the trigger outs on board and still have trigger in.
Or could the code be changed in a way that we could chose some tracks and their triggers to work with trigger in and others with trigger out? but then the trigger out board would not cover reversing the flow.
the trigger out board is only capable to output triggers. no way to reverse it. I'll have to take a look at how many free pins there are still left. (but I doubt it will be enough) if there are 7 additional free pins on the mainboard header it would be possible to add a breakout board and use both at the same time. Otherwise you would have to add a settings option to select between in and out mode.
Just an idea to see if it would be possible to input notes value and record steps with the current hardware and any questions to see if i understand a bit the code and how it works.
i think inputing values would need a hardware change. it would require some kind of analog to digital conversion. the current hardware just translates the input into logic high or low.
I was thinking that with the reset in this translation (high or low) could be used to say "high = addNote" and "low = erase note" and that the clock in was translating the number of high and low during a period of time and that we can use this value to define a note value. But seem's to be more complicated :-(
I can change the code and build the firmware to try but since i'm a beginner i'm a bit afraid to break something, i will learn more about how all this work before, thanks.
sure, when inputing only logic values it would work without hardware change, but the bit about the note value is not really practical imho. how would you convert a voltage into a number of triggers?
what would you use this for? maybe there is a way of doing it with midi.
I agree with you, the note value thing isn't practical. If the hardware would be able to listen to voltage value, i would have convert the value in number of trig. 0.1 volt = x triggers, 0.2 volt = y triggers....but that doesn't seem to be possible.
My first idea was to input an LFO square wave or a gate in "reset in" to write a note at the current step of the sequencer when the LFO is going from 0 to 5 volt and to input a note off when the LFO is going from 5 volt to 0. Then use another LFO square wave in the "clock in" to define a parameter value from the number of trigger receive in a certain time. I would have use this to record the different value in the sequencer and play it back. A bit like a cv to midi interface that can record different values. That's why i haven't think about doing it with midi. Thanks for your feed-back, i will certainly begin with a simpler thing to change in the code, that have less influence with the hardware.
Just built my trigger board, Awesome. best €50 I've ever spent (if your buying eurorack you'll know what i mean!) Any chance in the next firmware you can add 24 pqn clock? I know a lot of Roland stuff uses 24 and I'm trying to sync to a Pamela's Workout module that excepts 24 but not 32. 16 isn't really tight enough sync
Ive been using the LXR exclusively for the trigger outs. The sound is fun but I recently built many analog drum modules so just wanted a way to trigger them. LXR really brought my modular to life! I use every trigger & clock , find my self wanting more! May have to buy a second LXR! Cheers, Great work !!
Just got the trigger expansion soldered, and since I have a Batch 1 LXR, I want to double check the wiring before I mess up anything on the LXR´s "brain".
EDIT2: Soldered the trigger pcb to my Batch1 LXR without issues. Put everything back in the case, the back panel fit perfectly. So far triggers seem to work, have not tested everyone of them, but Clock and 3 triggers work!

I forgot to include the trigger command in the midi in section of the code.
