How to use sample & hold in a eurorack modular system - with Doepfer A-148

Sample & Hold is a common ingredient in synthesis. Not just in modular synths, but also semi-modular and stand alone synths. Its often thought of as a random stepped signal, but it’s actually a function. And within a modular you have the possibility to customize the results of that function.

In this video I explain how a Sample & Hold module works and then we dive into a series of patches. From some uses for the basic stepped random signal, to more creative patches with a variety of sample and trigger inputs. Finally we also use the Sample & Hold as a trigger generator, and a sample rate reducer.

Timetable:
00:00 – Intro
00:50 – Sample & Hold
02:07 – Doepfer A-148
02:38 – Stepped random
05:05 – Input variations
07:35 – Clock variations
08:50 – Gates and triggers
10:04 – Sample rate reduction
