Trigger

A button that makes something happen when it is pressed.

A Trigger is a button. Pressing it makes the operator act, for example refresh, reset or add something, and the press passes on through any connection that leaves the trigger. It fires the moment the button goes down, not when it is released.

A trigger holds no value. It is not saved with the project, so opening a project never presses one.

Any parameter can be connected to a trigger, and anything that arrives counts as a press. Connecting the output of a Beat operator makes the trigger fire on every beat.
