The Sample Release is a 4 channel bipolar envelope generator module that can also act as a sample-and-hold or track-and-hold. Each channel takes a voltage input, samples it and then that voltage goes to zero volts with it’s rate controlled by the release knob. This generates control envelopes that fall when positive voltage inputs are applied and rise when negative voltage inputs are applied.

Each channel has a toggle that disables the release function and lets the channel act as a traditional sample-and-hold or track-and-hold. Additionally, a +5V supply is normalized to the voltage input so the module can also be used as a normal release generator. No modifications are required if building this module for a +/-15V system. 

Demos, build documentation, drill guide, are available here.

Unfinished panels are drilled by hand in my garage, they are bare aluminum that may be scratched.  They are intended to be painted, etched or otherwise finished later.

Pre-Assembled Modules are built after the order comes in.  Build time can be a few days or a few weeks depending on what parts I have on hand.  When ordering, please leave a comment at checkout if you have preferences on what color(s) the panel is painted.
