In learning how to create kick drum sounds, it is important to understand the principle components of the sound and how they can be varied for achieving different flavors of kick drum sounds. In this episode, we look at the components that create the body of the sound and the attack of the sound. This involves using a noise generator with an envelope to make a sharp attack and then using different combinations of oscillators to add the bass body of the sound. In VCV Rack, the Eurorack modeling software, there is a noise generator with a variety of flavors of noise for tailoring your attack sound, while the VCO can produce sine and triangle waves for the body. Using the mixer, these different components can be balanced with one another. Using a filter and a delay one can then tailor the brightness of the attack and also add more resonance for the body of the bass. This episode explores all these different aspects and demonstrates what canbe achieved with different parameters.

In this fourth series of Learn Synthesis with VCV Rack, we will be starting off with those approaches to synthesis and synthesis concepts that have not been covered thus far in the series. In this episode, we look at how sample and hold works. We will use the VCV sample & Hold module with the VCV Quantize module to store pitch data that can then be triggered out with a sequencer. One can use the module either in random mode or in a CV storage mode that can store pitch data. We look at how one can use different portions of the module to trigger out multiple portions of the sequencer and layer them together. We will also use the sample & hold to offset pitch from the MIDI keyboard to function like an arpeggiator. After watching this episode, you will know how to use sample and hold modules in general.
