Hi, simple question (or at least simple thing I'm trying to do!)

I'd like to use the Sweeper RE as an phaser envelope on a pad. I would like the envelope to retrigger every time I play a chord. Is this possible?

I'm having trouble working out how to do this - the loop function is tied to tempo (good), but just keeps going regardless of input signal. The audio trigger seems wrong for use on a pad as the trigger sound is too indistinct (although I can see how it would work on drums).

I'm stuck!

I wish. Iv looked when it’s in a combinator, and I believe you can’t check the receive notes button

Meaning you can’t trigger the env by midi Like the ol trusty ECF-42

I really really really want this as a feature though

The audio triggering is cool and all, but it is not consistent like the midi trig

You can send the gate out of the synth to the trigger env cv in the back of sweeper, which will retrigger the env with midi input
