CrosspatchTriggerpad Trigger/Gate Sequencer

Crosspatch Triggerpad

Triggerpad from Crosspatch is a compact trigger and gate sequencer for Eurorack systems that connects to common 8x8 grid-style MIDI controllers via USB, providing a hands-on sequencer that is perfect for live performance. With Triggerpad, that Launchpad or APC controller laying around unloved and underused in your studio can now be the centerpiece of your rhythmic workflow. Triggerpad gives you eight channels with individual start and stop, enabling complex patterns with up to 64 steps per channel. Ratchets and retriggers can be crafted with eight microtiming sub-steps between each step, perfect for wild polyrhythmic breakbeats and simple grooves alike. Additionally, gate length and amplitude can be programmed and played back, empowering dynamic phrases and compatibility with virtually any module.

Multiple modes of sequence control let you use Triggerpad however it makes sense for your own workflow. Session mode lets you record patterns on the fly, which can be quantized to sub-steps or sixteenth notes. Program exact passages in sequencer mode, letting you craft detailed and dynamic compositions. You can also directly play each channel in fingerdrum mode, offering a powerful and performative option for live sets and studio sessions alike. Ideal for live performers, Triggerpad lets you save your collections of all eight patterns, called scenes, in up to 64 slots, then switch between them in performance to effortlessly perform entire tracks and sets. Whether you have a compatible controller around or plan to pick one up, Triggerpad from Crosspatch is a great choice for drumming up decadent and detailed modular grooves.
