Why Sample and Hold Modules Are Ace 

I was just gunna comment on the legowelt vocals... lol

InstaBlaster.

It is not exactly down sampler. For the downsampling to work without aliasing, you need to have low pass filters on input and output, and they need have cutoff below the Nyquist limit. Otherwise, you get various aliasing artifices, which can be interesting sonically of course on its own. Actually if you put reasonably high sampling frequency, and appropriate low pass filters, you will reconstruct original input signal ;D

@@movax20h sample rate reducer might be better way to say, as it says what its doing right in the name, changing the rate at which we are sampling the source, via the trig on of the s&h module

Whatever we call it! This video finally helped me understand it! Thanks Mylar!

“You’ll track and hold, mister, and you’ll *like* it!”

buy another to keep it company (I'm considering a 3rd) such a useful little module

@@chemicalBR0 yes, distings are herd animals, hate to be alone.

🙌

agreed

I completely agree....the reason kids are not going modular is because 99.9% of the "jams" you hear are either 'plinky-plonk-plunky-plink' or dark ambient drone...because they place constraints on themselves. I am no musician but never thought purposely restraining yourself was an art-form. Me, I don't use a DAW, but I am also not completely modular either. I'm semi/modular+, meaning everything play is live, but the majority of sounds are presets I've created (or borrowed) that I'll assign to a workstation such as my Roland JD-Xi or Yamaha MODX...but I never know how all the sounds will perform together until I play (and that is what you get). Nonetheless, if you check it out I play Trap, Techno, Trance, Dub, House, Hip-Hop, DubStep, DnB, Electro, Funk, and any mixing I do is on my phone (iMovie). Ha ha So I might use my DeepMind12 for bass, my JD-XA for lead, DFAM for drums, etc. Send it all to my workstation, assign it to a section/key and get busy. Long-winded way of saying you can still go DAW-less, organically create your music, and get your sh*t to knock.

Drone is for sound junkies literally and its also a form of art, you hear Drone in triple a movies, so you can see and hear that its also a good way to start making ambience for movies or games, in combp with some form of haromny it reaches perfection and takes its life form

I'm from the future here to tell you that I agree.

Rosetta Stoned It reminds me of Escape From NY

caught me off guard haha. from one moment to another I feel a swirling sensation in my head und start bobbing around haha. mylar is the king of jamming

Cory Bosse excellent comment! This makes so much sense to me now

@@gamertag301208 So glad to hear! This all ties in to understanding the Nyquist frequency, aliasing, oversampling, and a host of other handy things to know.

Just...yeah ;)

a bit crusher reduces the resolution of the amplitude of the wave. Like 8bit audio only has 256 values to play with. The change happens at any time when the audio passes the threshold between values. This is the difference S&H reduces at different time intervals and a Bit Crusher reduces at different voltage levels. So if you are looking at a waveform one reduces on the X Axis and the other on the Y. Now i'm gonna go bitcrush some S&H for full XY control

@@dysbomb oooh right! That is very clear! It's width of the step and height of the step! Thank you for the explaination, i'll know what I'm doing with my ssr and bitcrusher ont the field kit FX!

So theoretically an analogue bitcrusher would just be an audio rate quantizer with evenly spaced steps?

@@aeu05172 yeah in it's most basic form. They're also loads of weird and wonderful ways of distributing the values that coders have come up with over the years.

​@@aeu05172 if we're talking about applying it to a pure waveform it will introduce amplitude steps, your sine wave is going to look like little steps going up and down. The more you bit crush, the less steps there are vertically ( a midi signal has values going from 0 to 127 for exemple ). The sample rate will affect the width of your steps horizontally, it's the time your value is held. If you're not modulating it, your steps will be even.

Just design and build one that is perfect for YOU.

And you do that with two VCAs! Take whatever cv you put into the left vca, copy it, invert it, and put it in the right one, and you made a voltage controlled panner!

😘

Thanks m8, yeah defo don't! Here's another one on S&H's I just did actually, you can use this trick too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ApXa30Bc6Bw.html

Thanks! One thing to be aware of is you can get a bit of voltage drop with analogue sample and hold modules - Divkids one is totally solid though, so usable for pitch!

@@mylarmelodies awesome, thanks for the heads up - saved me some potential drama there!

YMMV getting the S&Hs to chain properly: successful implementation may depend on the charge and dispersion times of the capacitors in your analog S&Hs and some under-the-hood sampling times in your digital S&Hs. A quantizer on the back end may help combat droop from analog components. If it doesn't work quite right, there's always O_C.

Im gonna try this with my quad quantizer! A quantizer with a trigger input is basically a sample and hold all by itself, except the output is always quantized. Also they're digital so they can't handle triggers at audio rates (I tried).

96HP MDLR Performer case!

mylarmelodies Thanks!

Plaits plus Jove filter

@@mylarmelodies thanks

It might only be possible in an analogue one as it’s an audio rate effect, yeah
