    Doepfer dual sample and hold module A148, 5th module in the second row. 4ms clock distributor is used to trigger the sample and hold. Instead of clock signal you can use sequencer or some other methods to create different rhytms.

    Sorry, I don't fully understand your question. Sample and hold in this video is used to sample voltage levels from lfo to create values for pitch cv.

  • @gamemastertristan3951

    But why can the CV not go directly from LFO to VCO? What is the reason for sampling?

  • @dinkoklobucar526

    @dinkoklobucar526

    6 жыл бұрын

    Try it :) Nothing is stopping you from using LFO to directly control VCO pitch, but you will get continuous pitch change (frequency modulation - FM), provided you are not using some kind of stepped LFO signal. If you want to create distinct pitches (like notes), then you want to keep values static for some time and then quickly change to some other value. That is the reason to use s&h. So essentially, s&h creates stepped cv signal from continuous signal by sampling voltages when trigger occurs. Changing/modulating LFO properties like frequency, amplitude, shape... will result in different values to be sampled, which then produces different sequences of pitches. I hope this helps.

    hello. quantizer can usually take 2 signals. one signal is the signal to sample and quantize to a voltage for some note. the other input takes a trigger that tells quantizer when to take a sample from the first input. it works exactly like sample and hold but in addition it quantizes the sampled voltage to a nearest note (or using some other selection method)

    Dinko I have the same quantizer! but I don't understand why if you select a single note in quantizer mode, (C for example) maybe inserting a ramp as input, with the trigger input he takes C and other notes but which are not selected! As your quantizer does

    If you would select only C and if you're in quantizer mode, you should only get note C in different octaves.

    ​@@dinkoklobucar526 so even in your case, (with a voltage sampled by the S&H) if you had only selected the C key, would C have come out on various octaves? but if I watch the video at reduced speed I see that when the C flashes other notes come out. Confirm?

    Hello arjuna207, thank you for the comment. I put some thought into your request and I think the main idea would need to be oversimplified to make it into a patch description. In the simplest form it would be LFO->offset/atten->quantizer, but the video explains what can be built upon this simple concept, and how to control such system in a procedural way. Purpose of this video shouldn't be to copy the patch, but to provide ideas and basic building blocks to realize it in different ways and using other kinds of modules. Since the video shows all steps, connections, parameters, and thought process in detail, I will not be adding any additional patch descriptions. I hope you'll find it useful in current format though.

    Great then. If you have trouble with any section of the video, let me know and I can try to explain it in more detail.
