RND STEP is a high performance, 3-channel sample and hold module, comprising of 6 separate
noise & S&H circuits in just 4HP.
Each channel features two internal analogue pink noise generators, and two sample and hold
circuits split across unipolar and bipolar outputs.The unipolar output always samples its own
noise source for a stepped random voltage between 0-5V. The bipolar output by default samples
it’s own noise source (for -5V to +5V stepped random). However, you can override that connection
with the sample input. This allows for sampling external audio or CV signals, and it can sample
voltages anywhere between -10V and +10V with the sample input.
RND STEP will operate at slow trigger rates and can generate extended hold times, whilst
sustaining the voltage with extremely high precision. But it will also operate up through audio
rates for destructive downsampling FX for audio. When triggered at audio rates RND STEP
outputs downsampled and clocked noise tones from the internal pink noise generators. These
can then be used for modulation, percussion or sound FX.
Trigger input 1 will normalise across all 3 channels, meaning a single trigger can give 6 unique
random voltages, of which 3 are bipolar and 3 are unipolar. The combination of both ensures you
have the right voltages in the correct ranges for the sources you wish to modulate.
RND STEP is a collaboration between Steady State Fate and DivKid. The potential range of patch
applications for RND STEP is vast and a selection of patches are demonstrated in the
announcement video https://youtu.be/hlcXvCN80jU .

Shipping methods
All EU orders are shipped via UPS. We offer two service levels:
- UPS Standard – our default shipping option. Delivery times vary by country (see estimated delivery times below).
- UPS Express Saver – next business day delivery to most EU destinations.
Each product page shows the estimated delivery time for your location, so you'll always know what to expect before you order.
Estimated delivery times (Standard shipping)
The times below are estimates in working days from dispatch, based on UPS Standard service. Express Saver delivers by the next business day to most destinations.

| Spain | 4 |
| Sweden | 3–5 |
These times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delivery may occasionally take a little longer due to customs processing, local conditions, or carrier delays.
Dispatch times
Orders placed before 15:00 CET (Central European Time) on a working day are normally dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 15:00 CET, or on weekends and public holidays, will be dispatched on the next working day.
If you have an urgent order, please email us at info@signalsounds.eu before placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
