  • A few weeks ago I made a video about sample & hold, and promised to come back with some ideas for track & hold in another video. Today is that day! I'll explain the difference between sample & hold and track & hold, show how you can patch up a track & hold function, just using a sample & hold, oscillator, and VCA. And then we’ll dive into a series of patches. From using a track & hold to create interesting modulation, to self-generating melodies, and ratcheting drums.

      Hey, glad to hear it! The channel is growing nicely, and I really enjoy making these, so I plan to keep it up for quite some time! There's an entire introduction to modular series planned, allong with some really exciting sponsored products! All the best :)

    You are hands down the absolute best person on the internet at concisely and, dare I say, beautiful explaining these sorts of fundamental concepts in a way that not only makes them incredibly easy to understand but also immediately contextualised with other processes. So good!! 🙏 🎉🙏🎉 🙏🎉

    This is the kind of presentation that I find most useful as I learn about the functionality of a modular synth. Great presentation. Thanks for sharing.

      happy to hear it! I felt I could really add to the community with the addition of the calm clear illustrations. I plan to do a more complete introduction to modular series later this year! You're welcome, and thanks for watching!

    Hello there and friendly greetings! I am an avid VCV Rack user despite I am very ignorant about Euroracks. I have watched nearly all your videos and all the things you showed here are perfectly fit for the software I use (of course...)
    So thank you so much! I have see a lot of ideas I've never figured out before! I bet I am going to have a lot of fun! :-)

    amazing stuff as usual, so what do you about s&h droop? i’ve only bought one module and quickly returned it because i was totally unaware that it was a thing until i played the module.

    • @MonotrailTechTalk
      @MonotrailTechTalk  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks, glad to hear it! And yes, it's a thing for sure. It really depends on what voltages you are using. Most of the time its not an issue for me, but when used with 1v/oct isgnals it's mostly to much droop to function.

  • @megamankicksyourass
    @megamankicksyourass Před 3 lety

    great video! sounds like the T&H is holding the pitch cv without drooping pretty well? or at least well enough for the short periods of time it is holding?

    • @MonotrailTechTalk
      @MonotrailTechTalk  Před 3 lety

      Good one! I have to admit that took some experimenting, in fact it was drooping quite quickly, which is crucial for melodic purposes of course. With stepped signals and squarewaves it workd fine, with a smooth random voltage in the gate input the droop seemed to be more present. For best results it could be best to add a quantizer after the track & hold circuit!

  • @jasonguthrie9114
    @jasonguthrie9114 Před 3 lety

    Isn’t a track and hold the same as a VCA with a gate?

    • @MonotrailTechTalk
      @MonotrailTechTalk  Před 3 lety

      Hey there! Not really, A VCA with a gate will result into "track" (follow the incomming signal when you feed the VCA a gate) and "0", a 0 volt output if the VCA is closed. So it wont "hold" a voltage when you close the VCA.
