13 Patches for better Sample & Hold + Track & Hold in Eurorack // Instruo tagh

[@thebluehotel5215]

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.

[@mgscheue]

Yes! It’s never just about the particular module.

[@burninglcd]

Love that your posting more often! Your channel is a wealth of good information.

[@els1f]

Wow, an input rectifier is a GREAT IDEA!😱🤯🙌

[@DivKid]

Yeah that's a smart one!

[@serosero9950]

Amazing explication on how these S&H/T&H works...and that cameo from Jason, pure gold!!

[@riyazsonday7025]

Excuse me for saying but these are the best modular vids on YT by a long shot. I love the extra nerding out content

[@yuggothproductions]

Wow so that’s how they did those Galaga sounds! So interesting!

[@genemantua2272]

Love the excessive succulent shot. Gave me a good laugh. Great video

[@DivKid]

Yeah me too, wondering how much more silly I can make it and over the top. May I need to present the introduction from behind some leaves or something.

[@joethompson5619]

Cool video Divkid! So want some sample and hold in my life lol Thanks to Ja as well for producing Tagh!

[@Diamond_Eyes_24]

Love your homage to the top down camera view with ubiquitous pot plants and succulents. Choice!

[@murat_buyuk]

Thanks Ben. As a Patreon, I love to have the patchbook

[@PBgeoffrey]

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!

[@praveensharmanyc]

Usually breaks and modular don’t do it for me but these examples are straight fire

[@DivKid]

Thanks I appreciate that!

[@thesoche]

It took me some messing around, but finally figured out how to recreate some retro video games sounds using what I have in my case. That was a great little interlude and tutorial by Jason from Instruo!

[@cradair75]

Ben, you are aces! Just playing with the first two patches, especially mixing the envelope and S&H was tons of fun! Thank you for all you do!

[@VocalChainsStudio]

Welp, it’s Monday and my mind is already full for the week. Awe inspiring patch examples.

[@in_10z]

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

[@EmileHoogenhoutbehr]

Much love DivKid,! Your approach to synthesis has been such a great source of inspiration and your patch ideas in this video are so on point.

[@DivKid]

Thanks Emile, I really appreciate that.

[@IppeiTambata]

This is the best video about Sample & Hold module usage!

[@FabioSiverino]

its sooo good to have you back!

[@MOTOMINING]

Found you through the KZbin Library, I like your sounds! That's cool that you play with modulars! My good buddy's been doing that for years, I play with Ableton, but haven't got any analogue gear of my own... Yet..

[@Audiorial]

As always, superb, we learn in good conditions, here, and got deeply onto new modules, bravo, et merci Ben.

[@fleshback]

Top notch video, S&H Rocks!

[@DivKid]

it absolutely does and wish more people would realise that. For those that say they don't like random (surely thinking about random stepped pitch bleeps) I'd love for them to try it attenuated and modulating different things. It can be a beautiful 'humaniser' or variation creator.

[@mixolydian2010]

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

[@EleniEliades_]

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

Very cool! Inspiration for quite a number of patches 😎

[@WokeAssMessiah]

Thanks for this one, lots to absorb here!

[@eyeprod3101]

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

[@Romaindeud]

Thanks for those S/H patches tips/ideas !

[@stateazure]

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!

[@VocalChainsStudio]

Had the same question - another patch at 8:43 provides detailed breakdown of using EG’s end of rise & fall outputs with S/H, so I’ll be busy with those experiments for the rest of the week.

[@chridmeister]

I love DJ Divkid! 🙌😜

[@DivKid]

hahaha ragging the case around. I was hoping someone would mention that.

[@DivKid]

no I didn't I instead added more modules to the pile. My daughter isn't allowed to walk past anymore for fear of a module avalanche.

[@DCBMusic]

You should make a video that's just guitar based Eurorack patches

[@brianreilly6545]

Great tutorial and tips, thx!

[@time4anew1]

As a certain someone would say, "It's good to have you back". Happy Divmas!

sounded better for ragging the case around

[@declanmurphy6452]

Can you do a video on Dave Rossums Mob Of Emus? Every time I think I have learned something about it I am quickly reminded of the fact that I definitely haven’t. If you don’t have one I will literally send you mine. Love your videos btw.

An aside, but I have that Takaab 2lpg module, it's possibly the best value for money module in Eurorack. I absolutely love it.

Waa it's ridiculously big

This video needs more plants!

[@DivKid]

I know gutted to fail everyone with my poor effort :)

@@DivKid Nah, it was a great video! I only have 2 plants in my studio, Héctor and Jorge.

[@Autotross]

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]

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.

[@Autotross]

@@DivKid Thanks!!

[@DivKid]

no problem thanks for the interest!

[@apeirogonmusic]

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

[@BeniRoseMusic]

Fantastic! What was the voice used in the "Sampling LFOs" section, I loved that tone!

[@cthulholmhastur5317]

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 :)

[@room132studio]

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]

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.

[@room132studio]

@@DivKid by the end I realized the way you did it. But later in the video you using s&h output for fake gates. 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 :)

[@DivKid]

Glad you've figured those out and got some good results. Thank you!

[@seansnyder7744]

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.

[@rmanpojo8485]

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.

[@GeorgeLocke]

Why is this module so wide?

[@mutedsounds2k]

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!

[@nilskozstum8256]

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.

[@mutedsounds2k]

@@nilskozstum8256 Guess what? Signalsounds and Elevatorsound will cost me IMPORT TAXES, thanks to the Brexit. Schneidersladen forces me to spend 300€, in order to save on shipping, while Thomann only asks me to spend 200€. And, guess what? I hate plastic panels (I highly doubt we already have "transparent aluminium").

[@musicsmurf7382]

@@mutedsounds2k just for information - elevator sound has a new EU store live - no import taxes, but some shipping cost.

[@mutedsounds2k]

@@musicsmurf7382 Good to know, thanks!

[@rouuuk]

Is this 4:48 how you made Icelandic arpeggio???? If yes, I'll lose my mind

[@DivKid]

No all those arpeggios playing on that track were composed rather than random. Nice to see someone going from some music into a video and trying to make the connections though.

[@rouuuk]

​@@DivKid dude i love 'unpredictable rhythmic' tracks! much love from the other side of the world

[@DivKid]

I like random and unpredictable too. Hence designing the Eurorack module RND STEP. I use it a lot (the module) and have used random/probability (in general) where possible for a long time. All the best!

[@Aeon_Replicant]

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!

[@jorgeletra3902]

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? 😉

[@FotoxBr_nl]

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 ?

[@brianbrill]

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.

[@Nokanmusic]

I’m some of us who certainly has commented in the past

[@Malle825]

2:09 ultra mega hipster screen incomming... :)

[@DivKid]

I need to find a way to increase the hipster trigger with each video. Not sure I can get more leaf action in shot though.
