Wiretap has a couple of surprises under the hood: Two special modes which can be activated by a set of jumpers on the back of the module. First, the clocked operation mode (using input 2 or the gate bus for triggered operation). Then there’s the hold mode, which generates gates that last through the entirety of an event. We’ll also take a look at how Wiretap retriggers when gates are longer. Lastly, we’ll feed Wiretap with audio-rate signals and marvel at the glitchy results!
