Sample & Hold

1. Sample Input Voltage that will be sampled when the Hold input is triggered. Normalled to a built-in white noise generator.
2. Hold Input Trigger input.
3. Hold Button Triggers the Hold input manually.
4. Ouput Voltage that was on the Sample input when the Hold input was last triggered.

Overview ⚓︎

The Sample & Holde module stores the voltage present at the Sample input when the Hold input is triggered. The Out jack outputs the stored voltage.

Hold can also be triggered by hand with a push button.

In Depth ⚓︎

The Sample input is normalled to an internal white noise generator (±5V), so the module can be used to generate the popular random sample and hold effect simply by connecting a clock signal to the Hold input and using the output to modulate a filter cutoff or a VCO pitch.

For logic gate geeks out there, the Hold module can be used as a D flip-flop where the Sample jack is the data input, the Hold jack is the clock input, and the Out jack is the Q output. Q̅ can be obtained by connecting the output to an Inverter module’s Gate input. This is much easier than building a D flip-flop out of a bunch of Logic modules.
