WHAT TO KNOW

INPUTS

a: the threshold, a constant or a source; b: the source compared with it.

OUTPUT RANGE

0 or 1

USE IT FOR

A switch at any level, not only at 0.5: the wheel above 0.30, a key above a split, a velocity above a point; an ASR trigger. The factory's 0.22 and GKeyNum (4 global FUN2s) gives 1 for keys from F1 up.

WATCH OUT

Mind the order: the output is 1 when b, the second input, is the greater. Compare diode(a−b), which passes how far a is above b as a value rather than a switch.

IN THE FACTORY PROGRAMS

In 7 FUN slots of the factory programs: GFUN2 4, FUN1 2, GFUN4 1. GFUN2 and GFUN4 are the program's global FUNs.

HOW TO ON YOUR K2700 · 2046 Editor Template

The factory does not route b > a to a sound on its own: set one up on 2046 Editor Template and hear it on the pitch.

  1. In Program mode choose 2046 Editor Template, a plain one-layer program to build on (KEYPAD, 2046, ENTER).

    Program mode with 2046 Editor Template

  2. Press EDIT, then MORE and DSP MOD. On the Pitch row set Source 1 to FUN2 and its Depth to 1200 ct: FUN2's result, −1 to +1, now bends the pitch up to an octave either way.

    The DSP MOD page of 2046 Editor Template, layer 1, the cursor on Depth (1200 ct)

  3. MORE, then LFO+. On the FUN2 row set Input a to 0.50 and Input b to MWheel.

  4. Move to Function and turn the Alpha Wheel to b > a.

  5. Move the mod wheel: below halfway nothing happens; past it the pitch jumps up an octave, b > a giving 1, and drops back as the wheel comes down. A switch made from a wheel.

  6. Press EXIT and answer NO to leave the factory program as it was, or SAVE to keep your version on a USER ID.
