How to use S&H, comparators and rectifiers, feat. Worng Electronics Quiver

video upload by Tom Churchill

"This video is all about cool things you can do with some basic utilities in a modular synth. In particular, I want to explain how you can massively expand the sonic range of a basic oscillator with a few simple tricks. I’ll show you a couple of ways to use sample & hold, both at audio rates and for more subtle ‘humanising’ modulation. I’ll explore using a rectifier to create octave-up copies of simple shapes and to transform basic waveforms in more radical ways. I’ll go into extreme PWM territory with a comparator, as well as using it for some pitch-dependent switching to spice up sequences. And I’ll show you how you can use analogue logic processing to turn a mono oscillator into a stereo one."
