Thats where I jumped in: Getting a CV based the change amount of an
incoming CV is very tricky (see below).

While getting a CV based on the rate of incoming triggers (which is
proportional to the amount of change of the CV) is quite easy and reliable.


If you don't want to go the way via the triggers, then split the
incoming CV in a multiple. One path goes into a slew limiter and then
into a polarizing mixer; the other path goes straight into another
channel of the polarizing mixer. Mix the original full positive, the
slewed signal fully inverted. The output of the polarizing mixer will
now send a voltage, that is the higher, the faster the input CV is
rising. Unfortunaly it will be a negative voltage, if the input CV is
falling. That is the point where it gets difficult. You have to send
both signals also into a comparator, which will tell you whether the
voltage is rising or falling with an logical signal. With that signal
you can use a switch to add or bypass a inverter after the output of the
polarizing mixer. Thats it.... :-/

And btw: this will not show a true value of the changge amount because
the slew does not change linear. It would be better to have a CV-delay
instead of a slew limiter.
