Love these videos where you review a product but also provide general context for how to use that type of module; I first noticed it with the Joranalogue Contour and EGs in general. It's a great service to people looking to get into Eurorack or seasoned synthesists looking to get more out of what they have.

Nice one. I've been thinking a lot about interesting uses for s&h lately. Appreciate the tips!

Your tutorials/demos are the best. Not only do you show off the widest range of features of a module but your patches are practical, musical, and sound really good. Can't stand it when a demo is a bunch of out of tune bleeps and bloops lol. Thanks Ben, keep up the good work!

That split panned arp patch is so lovely...and clever. Thank you.

Hey cheers Ben for the inspiring and entertaining video, take care and all the best for Christmas.

Amazingly useful Module. So glad you're back to explore and explain these new Modules for us all. Stay well❗🎵🔥✨🌌🌔👌

In the first patch how are you mixing the S&H with the Envelope. Are they mixed together in a mixer offscreen, or are the mixed within the filter? ie Envelope to Filter FM, S&H to Filter Input 1? I wonder if it would matter. Glad to see you posting frequently again, Ben!

The video game sounds were amazing, could you break down how those 3 elements work to recreate that? Just an LFO being sampled at different clock rates modulating an oscillator?

@DivKid

2 жыл бұрын

Hello thanks to Jason for that killer little section of the video. Yes so it's a square wave oscillator that we're hearing and there's an LFO going into a sample and hold and the output of that modulates the pitch of the oscillator. So the 3 numbers (or things) needed to be stored for those sounds in the original games were the rate of the LFO, the rate of the sample and hold clock and the base frequency of the square oscillator.

I learned to use S/H on an ARP AXXE... Would that be classified as a true S/H or a Track/Hold? Thx! PS I've just got to say that these INSTRUO modules are... Pieces of godly circuitry dropped from heaven. They sound GREAT, bringing the best of analogue in every way, and the aesthetic brings a higher level of expression that not many can rival.

@DivKid

I don't have an ARP AXXE so I don't know, but the S/H on a Korg MS-20 is track and hold NOT sample and hold. So it wouldn't be the first mislabel. Totally agree RE Instruo :)

We're you using a quantizer at any point when demonstrating the LFO and S&H? Sorry if I missed it in the explanation. This just made me all the more excited for S&H, which even in my early days as a musician, found to be a very fascinating concept/utility.

Thanks, very interesting. It shows why it is cool to have a SnH ant TnH module like this one instead of using something like pamela new workout. There's a lot of tricks you can do with this kind of modules. I have sport modulator wich is a slew, SnH, TnH, and comparator module and there's much you can do. So thanks for the ideas. I already asked for it but I'd like to know if you're planning to do a video on hamoniag, II've got this great module but I would love to have a good tutorial cause I'm not using it at the top of his power and it's a shame!

It’s a quantizer, I don’t know what you’d get out of it… other than quantized voltage. I mean, there’s all manner of things you can do to the quantized outputs of the Harmonaig, but then that wouldn’t be a tutorial on that particular module now, would it? 😉

"let's check out what's to come in the video" EARS AND EYES AT FULL ATTENTION

Mixing s &H with an envelope? How? both on a channel on a mixer? and where does the gate to the envelope comes from? bit clueless here... Great video BTW Thanks.

That Mordax Data module is very useful for demo videos like this one. I very often thought of buying one, but I do not do any demo videos. I wonder is it worth the money for someone just (trying to) do music things ?

If you're into exploring and experimenting with complicated modulation, then Data is very useful. It really helps you understand what's going on with the CV signals. Sometimes it will solve problems by clarifying a behavior you didn't anticipate. It's also nice if you dig waveforms and like to see the shape of the sound. I don't think I've made a patch without using it since I got it. But it is a luxury, and you can certainly get by simply using your ears, especially if your patches are not too crazy.

Now, guess what! Doepfer makes a DUAL S&H / T&H in ONLY 4 HP. It draws nearly no current (+/- 20mA), is skiff friendly (only 20mm!). And it costs peanuts (65€ on Thomann, but I was able to find it even cheaper)! You could set one of the 2 sections to be a S&H and the other a T&H. And voilà!

Now guess what, Divkid himself makes a 6x S&H in only 4 HP. Different modules for different tastes, I'm sure there are people out there who like a bigger panel and some cool backlit panel blinking action. I would also recommend supporting small business and buying modules at one of the many independent retailers such as schneidersladen, elevator sound or signal sounds.

I am not sure how you mix the sample and hold output with envelopes. Using it as a trigger and when it goes to a certain amount (higher volts) the envelope gets triggered?

@DivKid

5 ай бұрын

Hello, so any modulation destination can have mixed modulation you just need a mixer. Think of how we'd typically mix a few oscillators before a filter, treat modulation the same way and patch into a mixer before going into the modulation destination. For this specific set up lets say you have a sequencer running from a clock, with the clock triggering the envelopes and the pitch from the sequence going to the oscillators. Take that same clock (through a multiple or splitter cable) into the trigger on a sample and hold unit. Sample noise (lots of S/H units have noise normalised to the inputs, if not input noise to the sample and hold input) and then you have a random stepped voltage per clock pulse. Mix the S/H output in a mixer module alongside the envelope you're also triggering. Then patch the mixer output to the modulation destination (lets say filter cut off). Hope that helps, if not come back with questions and I'll do my best to help.

Unfortunately I can't exactly try what I asked before, because I only have a small modular with basic modules and I can use the T&H from my Ms20. But I did try S&H output for triggering envelopes in VCV rack and its working well. It was confusing first in the video, because you showed only the envelopes in random strikes and I thought its triggered by s&h out. also misunderstanding, bc my english.. Now I know. Thanks :)
