Registering when a Trill Sensor is Touched in RNBO patch

tmarasco125

Hi there! I’m looking to register a trigger whenever a Trill Hex is touched. I’ve seen examples on how to map the vertical and horizontal position of a touch on the Trill, as well as the size of a touch, to parameters in a RNBO instrument, but is it possible to register the fact that it has been touched and map that into a bang in a RNBO patch? I’d like to choose new random note for a synth whenever a user taps the Trill Hex.

An easy way of achieving that without chaging the existing infrastructure is to map the touch size to a parameter and then threshold that parameter's value so that it outputs a bang when it's higher than, say, 0.1.

That’s a fantastic idea! I’ll give that a shot, thank you @giuliomoro.

Does the current main branch of the RNBO example bela repo work with Trill sensor integration, or is there a seperate branch to use?

in the main branch you have access to the Trill sensor integration, just follow the instructions in the render.cpp file there.
