Peak & Hold
Dynamic Percussion Interface
1. Description
The Peak & Hold allows one to play and control analog synthesizer equipment
using a drum with a pickup or any other percussive signal source. It generates 9
different CV/signal outputs from one input source.
The P+H provides a dynamic hold voltage (linear and logarithmic), a dynamic impulse signal e.g. for
triggering filters or delays; a dynamic release signal (linear and logarithmic), an envelope and a gate
signal output. Additionally, the original sound signal is available for further signal processing. The input
stage is equipped with adjustable level and trigger controls and a filter for flexible adaptation of
different percussive instruments - such as long or short sounding, high or low drums and cymbals.
Furthermore, there is a 2

The ground connection is required if the module is connected to external equipment, e.g. a rhythm machine. Within the 18 19 15 16 13 14 eurorack modular system the module is grounded by its power supply and the casing.

    Modular 4. Settings Pickup There is a pickup and double-sided adhesive tape included to the Peak+Hold module package by standard, so it is easy to connect the P+H to any percussive instrument. The pickup is equipped with 1/4' jack and 2m cable. Suggestions: on tabletop bongo drum...
