ARTURIA – MOOG MODULAR V – USER’S MANUAL

The Sample and hold Module

Here we will look at creating a random modulation.

►

Use the “Pads / Slow_SH” preset from the “Factory” bank for this example. It is made up of 3 os-

cillators, a low pass filter (LP Filter 24dB), a noise module and a Sample and Hold.

The “Slow_SH” preset
