[PD] going from signals to events?

[Ali Momeni]

Thanks everyone, super helpful.

@peter:  it seems to me that `max~` and `min~` take signals in and put
signals out.  How would you use them to go from signal to event?

@liam:  yes!  `threshold~` is what i was looking for; i'm always up for
doing the extra work to stick with vanilla.

@claude: deep.  i'll look at the expr~ example, very helpful reference.
