Plugin opcode in scugens.

Port of Supercollider's Trig ugen. When a nonpositive to positive transition occurs at the input, trighold outputs the level of the triggering input for the specified duration, otherwise it outputs zero.

Syntax

aout trighold ain, kdur
kout trighold kin, kdur

Initialization
