I don't understand what sample and hold is?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I make synths in reaktor, I'd like to get to the point where I'm designing them myself and not just adjusting what I see other people doing online, but to do that I need to understand what I'm doing and some of the concepts just don't stick to my brain. This is a big one, and I think it's because it's usually accompanied by a lot of jargon that doesn't quite get across what the thing is supposed to do.</p> <p>Could someone explain what this does...like I'm five? What are they? What do they do? Why do they matter to a synthesizer?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/bachinblack1685"> /u/bachinblack1685 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/m8v0q4/i_dont_understand_what_sample_and_hold_is/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/m8v0q4/i_dont_understand_what_sample_and_hold_is/">[comments]</a></span>
