YuSynth Comparators

This time it's a Kosmo format version of the YuSynth Comparators module, generating gates and triggers whenever the input signal crosses a threshold. It's exactly what I wanted for use with the envelope follower and other signal sources... except some things needed changing. Resistors for ±12 V power, a way around a faulty Eurorack power header, protection for the LEDs, and some obsessive modification of the bypass caps.
