Pitch CV as a v-trigger sync signal

For no real reason  I occasionally consider using pitch CV for other purposes, as such, todays goal is to use pitch CV to emulate a V-Trigger pulse clock signal.


P1. If V-Trigger uses a voltage transition between 0V and 5V.

P2. Using the V/Oct CV range, C0 would be 0V, C5 would be 5V.

> Sequence a simple pitch sequence between those two  notes.


This of course worked, so I decided to go a bit further and explore workable pitch ranges for the transition to work. eg  would C3 - G4 work?


This was done by sequencing a simple melodic sequence using an Oxi One, connecting the CV out into a device Sync In.

Oxi One - Setting the CV out as v/oct, and using the Major scale for simplicity.

Other devices - using 1 PPS for simplicity.
