"Sample and Hold" is not to be confused with sampling a audio segment and
being able to play it back under some sort of control.

S&H in a synthesizer is a module which looks at an incoming waveform and
when told to, extracts a voltage based on the current level of the
waveform. The "told to" happens when a GATE signal is present in the module.

In the case of the Nord M, the waveform to sample is fed into the round red
jack, and the GATE signal is fed into the yellow jack. For a GATE, try an
LFO set to a square wave, for the waveform, feed an OSC.

The attached patch S&H_OSC.pch may help you understand what the module is
doing. I'm doing this patch at work without being near my synth, but I
think I have it right.

You can generate a number of predictable patterns by varying the frequency
of the OSC that's feed the S&H, along with the LFO speed.

The other patch, S&H_Filter, is something a bit more "common". This is
using noise as the waveform source to the S&H module. This allows for more
random voltages to come from the S&H module, and by then routing it to the
filter's CV control, this should produce a commonly heard effect...


Hope that helps.
