The Circuit Slices "Sample + Noise" is a dual-function module for Eurorack-compatible synthesizers. Packed in a narrow 4HP panel is a classic analog ‘sample & hold’ circuit and an analog noise source with three outputs – white, pink, and low frequency noise. The sampled voltages are typically routed to a VCO’s CV input or another module’s CV input. Patch one of the noise outputs into the Sample & Hold IN with a pulse patched to CLOCK, for cool random sequences.
Specifications
Noise output level: Factory set to about +/- 5V (10Vpp) User Adjustable from +/- 10V to +/-3V
Noise output bands
-- White (flat-band)
-- Pink (low-pass filtered to 3dB/octave for a less ‘bright’ or muffled noise signal.)
-- LF (very low, non-periodic ‘frequency’ near 8 Hz. Useful as a random CV.)
Noise source: amplified transistor junction noise
S&H CLOCK trigger level: >1V (any level greater than 1V)
The S&H circuit samples and outputs voltage levels in the +/- 10V range.
Connections: Standard 3.5mm jacks
Depth: 37mm
Panel width: 4 HP
Power required: +12VDC @ 20mA, -12DC @ 17mA, using a standard Eurorack 10-pin power connection
