Sample and Hold - what is it and what can I do with it?

What the heck is a sample and hold? What should I use S/H for in my eurorack system? Are there any cool uses for sample and hold modules besides creating random unquantized pitches? What other parameters can I modulate with sample and hold? How do I make an "8-bit+ or "bitcrushed" style sound using modules already in my eurorack modular synth system?
If you are asking yourself any of these questions, you will want to check out this video!
In this video Alex takes a dive into Sample and Hold as a concept, a circuit, and a feature of the Eurorack module from WMD/SSF, the Modbox. From the basic obvious uses to more advanced ideas in synthesis.
Different use cases include random voltage generation for modulation over Pitch, Filter, and other synth parameter, as well as down sampling, LFO control, Quantized voltage generation, pulling out notes from a sequence, and creating interesting soundscapes with panning and moving instruments around the stereo field.

Cool thanks! After watching this comprehensive video demonstration, I'm left with just one question: what's sample and hold?

I sample and hold my beer 😝 How is that for an example? But yeah, on a serious note, thanks for the video. Just checking out examples of different S&H uses for a speedier alternative to "Happy Accidents". Never had the patience to get into full modular, just using a bunch of semi-modulars. But the same applies.

S&H is an under rated module for creating cool beats and generative patches.

I wonder. We use an LFO/clock to take samples of a noise source at regular intervals. The noise source is crucial for providing the randomness/unpredictability of the samples. But what if one used a predictable signal source, like an LFO or VCO, *instead* of noise, and sampled at random aperiodic intervals, such that the samples were never taken from the identical point in the cycle? Obviously, you can't have the samples taken *too* far apart, but they don't necessarily HAVE to be predictable step durations.

That was awesome!!!! My one question is, what was that module you used for high hats? I need to know they wear coming threw so beautifully. Thank you for the tunes.

The Hihiat is a 909 sample being played by the Rossum Assimil8or. I also have a Chimera running in 16th notes in "shaker" mode which beefs it up a bit. Thanks!

Can you NOT use an onboard noise generator? ANY audio input? These sounds are interesting but very un organic,,,Pete used a sample and hold on Wont get fooled again but used a Hammond type organ as a sample source.

@WMDevices 4 жыл бұрын

Use anything, we use an oscillator around 06:06 as the source to down sample it and get a digital sounding. As far as organic goes... sample and hold is random when using a random source like noise. You can influence it and make ti a bit more controlled by using a more predictable source...

@@WMDevices Could you sample and hold an external audio source like say, a voice recording? I find sample and hold really hard to get my head around. I can't imagine if or how this would work. :/
