Gate-to-Trigger converter questions

2007-08-28 by rafe127

Hi everybody...

I build half of the gate to trigger converter just now in an attempt
to make a nice clean click sound. I am using one of these switches:

...and the switch is a momentary Normally Open SPST switch that passes
+9V from a regular 9V battery when I "depresss" it. The +9V is going
to the Gate input of the circuit here:

It ALMOST works except that it seems to send a trigger only when I
release the button... Any obvious reason this could be happening?
The switch itself has some mysterious potted electronics in it which
may be influencing things... is something funny because I only built
half of it?

Also, the shape of the click isn't sounding quite right:

Any advice about shaping the trigger output a little more?

Thanks for any help,
Rafael
