Routing triggers > Mod out

[XORadmin]

Just saw this, and thought to add that indeed the original solution you gave using a variable and TRUE or FALSE works.

But that's very convoluted as a system, and even reading the manual it wasn't obvious (for me at least). Wouldn't it be possible to simplify that and make it possible to pass a trigger out of a Mod Out? It seems probably the most basic thing that the Nerd Seq could (should) be able to do?

It could be useful to have a tutorial (or some examples) on the routing matrix, which even though explained in the manual, it doesn't seem so obvious except when using it for simple re-routing.

Not really what you write. The Trigger got only 0V/5V while the MOD can have 0-10V / -5+5V. The extra variable which holds the value that the MOD output should have is a bonus.
Simple re-routing is actually very simple if you understand the signals which are involved. A trigger in the mappings as a srouce generates only a true/false (in value 0/1). Analogue values (like a CV input/output) as a srouce generate 0-10V (or in value 0-FFF / 0-4095). Those are like in the real world different kind of things and you would need to 'convert' in between them. At some point you need to define that value 1 should be 5 volt for example which is ~2047 / 800hex as a value (or whatever analogue voltage).
A trigger as a source only generates the true/false situation and would indeed need to be converted on an additional row to something else. It can't happen in one row only as getting the trigger is already the function. So the function to converts must be in another row.

Routing a MOD output to another output on the other hand would be as simple as:
CV MOD1 ----    >    CV  PITCH  MOD2
Since both use the same kind of signals and no conversion is needed.
Make it fun and add a calculation and with one additional row you could have the MOD2 output being inverted compared to MOD1:
00 CV MOD1 ----    >          //is the function to get the MOD1 output value as a result to row 00
01 CALC  INV  00=0  >  CV  PITCH  MOD2   //which means Invert the result of row 00 (the bold 00 which points to the row is only used, ignore the =0) and pass it then to the output MOD2.....this generates also a new result for row 01. In another row you could just for fun divide the result of row 01 by 2 and output it on MOD3....

Tutorial/s are definitely planned but it would give only a few examples since the possibilities here are endless. And I can't teach you how to make algorithms / how to program anyways, I can only give you examples here.
I added already some examples and posted much information and solutions all around this forum, facebook, discord, MW, etc...
But my days are not long enough and I even work in the weekends to get everything done. So it all comes step by step....
