DIY MFOS Sample and Hold VC Clock KB

We always recommend visiting the MFOS website before building where the latest 'offical' information and news can be found. Here on the Soundtronics website, you will find selected information from the MFOS site plus additional information and resources to aid the building and maintaining of your MFOS synth. This is not going to happen over-night but during the course of 2014, it will start to take shape as we document our experiences in the construction of these modules. We would also like to include any experiences, hints and tips from customers as well so feel free to contact us or simply post a comment using the form at the foot of this page.

Introduction to the MFOS Sample and Hold VC Clock

Sample and hold circuits are used to create repeating or non-repeating cycles of control voltage by sampling a signal fed into the input at a rate set by the sample clock. At each sample the input voltage is stored on a capacitor and held there until the next sample. The held voltage is fed to the output which is used to control another module. It is interesting to sample various waveforms and hear the remarkable patterns that emerge as you vary the sample frequency or the frequency of the sampled signal. When noise is sampled then random non-repeating patterns are output.

Features

  • Sample Rates from .05HZ to 1KHZ.
