Interesting challenge. I’m pretty sure I could explain Sample & Hold to a 5 year old...but not in 1 sentence. It would take a good number of sentences, and I’d probably have to draw pictures too 😁
Don't get me wrong, there's something very appealing to me about the level of depth in Audulus. Kind of like playing with lego. But most of the time I just want to make music.
I've just never managed to get my head around it.
Sample and hold is the sound evil computers make in old sci-fi films.
Exactly! I'm prepared to put time into building stuff only when the end goal is to safe them as presets to be recalled instantly when the idea strikes. Although sometimes messing with modules brings ideas about.
I don't think so. Audulus is another type of app.
The flexibility, the control, the low-level that Audulus provides is far far away from Drambo.
Drambo is more like a little Reaktor. Audulus is more like.....Max/Msp
I thought sample and hold doesn't actually make a sound, but is used to trigger/control things?
You know when you are not on Wifi and watching a video on YouTube and it shows a picture, stops, then shows another, and stops again, and keeps doing it, That's the effect of sample and hold.
5 years olds understand Wifi and Youtube don't they ?
In the analogue world, a sample and hold module samples the voltage from a source signal. (usually white noise, which is effectively random voltages). It will hold the sampled voltage for a specified time(controlled by a clock) before sampling another voltage. These random voltages can then be used to control any other destination such as pitch or filter cutoff.
So the clock is steady (unless you modulate it with another S&H module) and the amplitude is random.
If you want to make the evil computer sound, modulate pitch with S&H.
This is awesome. That explains the 'hold' part. But what does the 'sample' refer to?
The picture is the sample (a single frame from the video), the fact it stays there is the hold
Got it. I can't help but try and relate this back to Drambo...so... amazing that Drambo has this! (pathetic I know)
a real world use of this would be for humanizing hi hats....use a pink or white noise as the source....send that through sample and hold, and then use the output from sample and hold to affect the pitch and/or length of a hi-hat sample. Each hat will then have slightly different pitch and length so will not sound so rigid.
you will have basically built a fake random value generator....you can use the speed of S&H to control how quick the value changes, and range (if it's available) to control the highest and lowest possible values.
There are many uses for this, this is just one example.
Got it. Thanks. So when the high hat triggers, it will be altered by a value outputted by the sample and hold at that moment in time.
Exactly
If anyone took the masterclass and knows the answer to this: please do share. I’ve been wondering what’s the cardinal sin of EDM since first seeing that ad.
But still not curous enough to do a deadmau5 masterclass.
I think it's the expression on his face that is the sin
Just checking in...
...still not released...
...leaves thread again.
You are new here, aren’t you?
I’ve been studiously avoiding the thread except to check in periodically to see if a release date has been set. Glad I had the chance to catch @bcrichards video. Thanks for the excellent overview!
I use this exact trick on my kits in BM3 because it’s so dead simple to setup a modulation source. If you haven’t done this in BM3, give it a shot!
I've always thought of S&H as just a 'random' LFO to apply to something. Is it any more complicated than that in practical terms? Obvs the theory behind it is interesting.
Clocking S&H with a steady clock is virtually the same as downsampling (decimation).
That depends on the source you feed it, if the source isn’t random (noise) then the output won’t be random either...
It’s more like a stepper that steps what you feed into it.
I hope there will be a thank-you cocktail to all participants once the app will be out in 2022 😂
Last time I’ve checked the release date jokes on this thread were no longer funny.
It was, if i good remembet, in part where he talked about sound design, how it is important in edm, and how it is important to develop own sound, not just use same presets from well known banks ...as bad example he used NEXUS plugin (that is the short sewuence from Ad - he us plying Nexus preset with arpeggio melody) and talked about cases when people send to him some tracks for releasing on Mau5trap and he immediately identified some NEXUS preset used thousand times by other producers in other tracks.
So cardinal sin, which he was talking about, is using same synth presets, used already thousand times by other producers :-)
can we download drambo yet?
Holy crap. Checked in this morning to 60 some-odd new posts and got a little giddy.
Thanks for crushing my spirits with your pricing debates and Deadmau5 (or whatever) mocking. Now I'm going to cry into my coffee and write Drambo in bubble letters on my notebook cover.
