Outputs high logic whenever the first signal is strictly greater than the second.

What it does #

Greater Than compares the two current sample values and returns a binary result. Equality belongs to the low state, so the output changes only after the first input has moved above the second.

Controls and ports #

Control	Label	Official description
table	Truth table	A  B > 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0

Practical uses #

• Turn a continuous envelope or LFO into a gate when it rises above a threshold Constant.
• Compare two oscillators and use the result to switch between their audio paths.
• Detect the positive side of a bipolar signal by comparing it with zero.

Things to know #

• Input order matters: a > b is not the same condition as b > a.
• The output is 0 at equality; use Greater Than or Equal when the boundary should be included.
• Audio-rate comparison creates hard edges and can be used as a waveform shaper.

Technical details #

No Nitro implementation has been confirmed for this visible module. The behavior is described conservatively from module metadata and editorial research.

Stateless per-sample comparison: out = (a > b) ? 1 : 0. The installed truth table confirms the four binary cases.

Open questions #

• Confirm the runtime policy for NaN operands.

Version and sources #

Checked against Bitwig Studio 6.0.6. This page combines Bitwig's module metadata, the existing Grid course and guides, and Nitro analysis where the mapping is strong enough to support a technical statement.
