Measure time between two gates?

My overall goal: to use “rapidness” of triggers as a control parameter. I want to tap a MIDI button and have a CV rise/fall as I tap faster/slower. I think I need something like a stopwatch, with an Out for the “lap” times and from there, I can sample&hold and attenuate measurements. The closest thing I can think of is a tap-tempo, but I don’t need it to guess at an overall “rate.”

Any modules that could help me build this mechanism, or any workarounds?

Maybe experiment with clock multi div from Nyshi.

Envelope follower comes to mind. Use it as low-pass filter smoothing out (aka. averaging) the gates.

Without the need to keep on tapping :
