Sample and Hold2
Sample and Hold2 takes a snapshot of whatever is on its input and holds that value steady until told to take another. It’s under Logic in the Module Browser, and replaces the Old-category Sample and Hold.
The difference is the Hold input, which is now a plain boolean rather than a voltage — so it wires directly to gates, comparators and logic modules without a conversion step.
Inputs
Section titled “Inputs”| Pin | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Audio | Audio | The signal to sample |
| Hold | Bool | While true, the output freezes at the value captured when Hold went true |
Outputs
Section titled “Outputs”| Pin | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Output | Audio | The held value |
The classic use is stepped random modulation: feed Random Voltage2 or a noise source into Audio, clock Hold from an LFO or from a MIDI-CV 2’s Trigger, and the output becomes a new random level on every note or every clock tick — a sample-and-hold filter sweep.
It’s equally useful for freezing a control that would otherwise drift: latch a velocity, or hold a pitch while the source keeps moving.
