I have a question about white noise and random notes. In my own setup
(most of it Doepfer, but not all) - I generate random notes by
inputting the noise generator into the sample & hold module, and then
getting my random frequency tones by inputting a trigger into the S&H
from a clock. My query is - If the noise generator is actually
outputting an audio noise signal rather than a rapidly changing train
of voltages, how does the sample & hold recognise them - Surely the
sample & hold circuit only recognises VOLTAGE LEVELS rather than
frequencies.
If I can patch the noise generator straight into a mixer and hear
noise, then surely that signal is not a train of voltages, but is a
train of frequencies.
Does this mean that the sample & hold can be used as a pitch-to-voltage
converter
.... or am I getting something wrong here
