Re: [motm] Clocking a sample and hold at audio rates -- Why?

2005-12-30 by jwbarlow@aol.com

You're right. I do this sometimes (and I think someone else likes this too;  
maybe it was Ken T. ?). It's just another (different) way of adding harmonic  
complexity to a sound. The results are somewhat different of course from the  
more familiar ways of doing this like AM and RM. I find that you can get some  
similar effects to VCO syncing.
 
If you're not doing this yet, you might try to tune both your input and  your 
(VCO based) clock and use the same CV source for both your audio input VCO  
and your VC clock, and possibly add an EG or portamento to one of those  VCOs.

The  result sounded a lot like 
what you get by using an audio frequency square  wave on the VC input of 
a VCA.  It is a ring-modulator-like  product.  Could be useful, but it 
isn't a delay.  Anyone have  other thoughts on why you would clock a 
sample and hold at audio  frequencies?
