A-148 Dual Sample And Hold : Great for modulating filter sequences

12 years ago

I use this in conjunction with Doepfer's A-118 Noise / Random and A-105 Filter modules to create random, modulating filter cut-offs. It's a classic synth technique, favoured by the likes of Depeche Mode and really straightforward to patch together.

By triggering the trigger input from a gate signal, every time you press a key on a keyboard, it results in a different filter cut-off setting. Makes for very organic sounding baselines.

I believe the Doepfer manuals even have an example patch too so it couldn't be easier to set up!

Again, having two of the Sample and Hold's in a single device / module is another example of Doepfer's excellent value for money.
