  • Page 3 Description Sample & Hold circuits have been a central building-block to modular systems since the very beginning. Whether they be used for random stepped modulation, LFO transformation, or audio-rate downsampling, you can find them on virtually any synthesiser. tágh includes everything you’d expect, plus much more.
  • Page 4 Installation 1. Confirm that the Eurorack synthesizer system is powered off. 2. Locate 14 HP of space in your Eurorack synthesizer case. 3. Connect the 10 pin side of the IDC power cable to the 2x5 pin header on the back of the module, confirming that the red stripe on the power cable is connected to -12V.

    Signal S&H + H&T: Switches between S&H mode and H&T mode. • S&H If the toggle is in its diagonal upper right position, (Sample & Hold) mode is selected and a new voltage is sampled and held with every rising edge signal from the internal clock, external clock, or Manual Trigger button.
  • Page 7 Signal Input: Full scale analogue input for the Sample & Hold and Hold & Track circuits. Connecting a signal to the Signal Input will break the normal of the internal white noise generator. Signal Output: Full scale analogue output for the Sample & Hold and Hold &...
  • Page 8: Clock

    Clock Rate: Manual control over the internal clock rate of the Sample & Hold and Hold & Track circuits. Turning the knob from anticlockwise to clockwise will increase the speed of the internal clock. The range of the speed is dependent on the Range toggle.
  • Page 9: Patch Examples

    Patch Examples West Coast Synth Voice: Summary: tágh samples the internal white noise and sends random voltage to an oscillator. An LFO clocks tágh while simultaneously striking a wavefolder. Output (Square Wave) Audio Path: • Connect the output of the oscillator to the audio input of a wavefolder.
  • Page 10 Control Path: • Multiply a square waveform LFO to connect it to both the Clk Input of tágh and the strike input of the wavefolder. This LFO will act as the rate control for the entire patch. • Set tágh to S&H mode. •...
  • Page 11: Track & Hold Synth Voice

    Track & Hold Synth Voice: Summary: tágh tracks an external LFO and sends voltage to an oscillator. (Triangle Wave) Output (Square Wave) Audio Path: • Create a West Coast Synth Voice audio patch. • Monitor the audio output of the wavefolder. •...
  • Page 12 • Connect the Signal Output of tágh to the 1V/Oct Input of the oscillator and set the Level knob to a desired position. • Set the Rectifier toggle to a desired position – disabled rectification will offer a wider range of modulation. •...
  • Page 13: Audio Rate Downsampling

    Audio Rate Downsampling: Summary: tágh acts as an analog audio degrader by sampling audio signals at audio rate. Setting the sampling rate oscillator to its highest frequency will force tágh to generate the truest representation of the input signal. Output Sample player Audio Path: •...
  • Page 14 Control Path: • For extra modulation, connect an attenuated bipolar LFO to the FM input or the 1V/Octave input of the sampling rate oscillator.
  • Page 15: Lowpass Filter

    Low Pass Filter: Summary: An oscillator passes through tágh and is filtered by the Slew control. tágh is being clocked at audio rate to sample the truest representation of the input signal. Output Audio Rate Square Wave Audio Path: • Connect a harmonically rich waveform from an oscillator to the Signal Input and set tágh to S&H mode.
  • Page 16: Manual Trigger

    Manual Trigger: Summary: Insert a dummy cable to the Clk Input of tágh to ignore the internal clock and use the Manual Trigger button to manually advance to new sampled or tracked voltages. Dummy Cable Output Manual Author: Collin Russell Manual Design: Dominic D’Sylva This device meets the requirements of the following standards: EN55032, EN55103-2, EN61000-3-2, EN61000-3-3, EN6231 1.
