ARTURIA – ARP 2600 V – USER MANUAL 80
5.2.5 Sample and hold
The sample and hold module lets us sample the signal connected as input. The
values for modulation are taken at every trigger signal connected as input.
This module is notably interesting for creating random modulations by sampling
the noise signal.
It is also possible to use it for more rhythmic cyclic modulations by connecting
a square or saw-tooth waveform coming from a VCO to the sample and hold
input.
The famous sound of R2D2 in Star Wars was created with the sample and hold
module on the ARP2600!
