Claravox Centennial is a complete, standalone
instrument. That said, Claravox Centennial is
fully capable of interfacing
–
and interacting
– with other musical gear in your setup or stu-
dio. Claravox Centennial can communicate via
MIDI, and Claravox Centennial can send CV
(Control Voltage) to other modular, semi-modu-
lar, or Eurorack synthesizers and systems.
MIDI
Refer to pages 55-62 for MIDI tables.
In addition to all of the parameters available in the
TRADITIONAL
and
MODERN
modes using
the front panel, an additional set of parameters
is accessible via MIDI and through the Claravox
Centennial software. The Claravox Centennial
software is a convenient addition, however MIDI
data can be freely sent from your DAW, hardware
controllers, or other MIDI control sources. The
tables on
pages 55-62
reveal the parameters that
can be accessed and controlled using MIDI Con-
trol Change (CC#) and Non-Registered Parame-
ter Numbers (NRPN#).
Controlling Moog Synthesizers
Claravox Centennial can connect to any modu-
lar or semi-modular analog synthesizer – or real-
ly any Control Voltage capable musical or audio
device. This Control Voltages (CV) concept is
central to the development of the synthesizer,
and to electronic music in general.
How It All Works
A Control Voltage is an analog signal of a spe-
cific or changing voltage generated by one syn-
thesizer – or synthesizer module – that is used to
control another synthesizer or synthesizer mod-
ule. Claravox Centennial produces two control
voltage signals. One is derived from the opera-
tion of the Pitch Antenna and related settings.
The second is derived from the operation of the
Volume Antenna and related settings. These
control voltages are derived from the Pitch and
Volume parameters, but these same voltages can
be used to modify the filter brightness, the enve-
lope release time, etc. These control voltage sig-
nals can be used collectively in playing another
instrument in its entirety, or patched individually
