5. September 2024 Wiretap is a dual channel slope detector and trigger/gate generator which continuously monitors the input signal for any 'significant' changes and generates gates/triggers in response. Channels 1 and 2 can function independently, each with its own input signal. If nothing is connected to channel 2's input jack, channel 2 will process the same signal as channel 1.

3. Typical use case for Wiretap Pitch CV generated by a step sequencer is fed into Wiretap's channel 1 input and sent via the channel 1 'through' jack to control the pitch of an oscillator. Whenever the CV rises, Wiretap's Rising output resets an LFO, and when the pitch CV falls, the Falling output triggers a bass drum.

1. While the default mode (jumper B to “0”) is optimized for best results with rapidly changing pitch CVs, hold mode is usually better at handling slowly changing input signals (although this will never be Wiretap's strong point). As a rule: if the frequency of your signal is below 1Hz, try switching to hold mode.
