SampleAndHold
Sampling Category
A SampleAndHold holds onto the current value of its Input for the duration specified in HoldTime. While it
is holding onto this value, it ignores any changes in its Input’s value. When HoldTime has expired, a
SampleAndHold looks at its Input’s value again, and holds onto THAT value for HoldTime and so on.
This effectively lowers the sample rate on the Input.
Try pasting this Sound into another Sound’s Frequency field and multiplying it by the desired range of
frequencies and adding an offset frequency to it, for example:
4 c + ([SampleAndHold] * 12 nn)
where [SampleAndHold] is a this Sound copied and pasted into another Sound’s Frequency field.
Input
This is the Sound whose output is periodically sampled by the SampleAndHold.
HoldTime
The amount of time that each sampled value is held before the Input is sampled again. If you think of the
SampleAndHold as downsampling its input, then this is the period of the new, lower sample rate.
OffsetTime
This is the amount of time to initially wait before starting the process of sampling and holding.
