Controls & Functions
Analog Waveshaper
Parameters
These three parameters are available in both
the
TRADITIONAL
mode and the
MOD-
ERN
mode. Use these controls to modify or
transform the sound of your Claravox Centen-
nial. Each one has its own function, but all are
part of the Analog Waveshaper circuitry.
Filter
Refer to Figure 19
Claravox Centennial is equipped with a low-pass
(2-pole/-12dB per octave) filter, based on the
Etherwave Pro filter. This knob changes the val-
ue of the cutoff frequency of the Filter. Rotating
the
FILTER
knob clockwise will raise the cutoff
frequency (or open the Filter), allowing higher
frequencies to pass through the Filter, resulting
in a brighter sound. Rotating the
FILTER
knob
counterclockwise will lower the cutoff frequency
of the Filter (or close the Filter), attenuating the
higher frequencies, resulting in a darker sound.
TIP: The Filter will naturally open as the Pitch
gets higher (Pitch Tracking). This is a natural
behavior of theremins.
Brightness
Refer to Figure 20
Unlike the Filter, which attenuates and limits
harmonic content, the Brightness parameter
modifies the transient time (or slew) of the
edges of the wave itself to alter the harmon-
ic content. Rotating the
BRIGHTNESS
knob
