Working With Other Gear
in order to effect changes to different parame-
ters on different components and even different
instruments. Using Claravox Centennial to con-
trol other modules and instruments can provide
amazing levels of expression. Moog semi-modu-
lar instruments are excellent expanders for your
Claravox Centennial.
Pitch Out CV
The voltage value available via this jack is de-
rived from the pitch being played, and can be
used to set the value of the pitch being played
by another module or synthesizer. Keep in mind
that Claravox Centennial can generate not just
notes, but continuous changes in pitch as well
as true vibratos. This control signal can also be
used to control any other parameter that can be
voltage controlled – envelope timing, filter reso-
nance, oscillator mix, noise amount, etc.
Volume Out CV
As with the
PITCH OUT
jack, the value of the
voltage available via this jack is derived from the
Claravox Centennial performance. This control
signal can be used to vary the volume level of
another module or synthesizer. This control sig-
nal can also be used to control any other param-
eter that can be voltage controlled – attack time,
cutoff frequency, effect depth, etc.
NOTE: An offset voltage can be added to or sub-
tracted from the value of this output using MIDI
CC# 30
/ NRPN# 430.
Examples of Using
Voltage Control
Here are just a couple of examples of how you
can use Claravox Centennial to enhance or
modify other instruments. The Gestural Con-
trol used when playing Claravox Centennial
can enrich nearly any synthesizer session. The
possibilities are limited only by your imagination
– and, of course, the specifications of each out-
put and input. Explore and seek out new ways to
integrate Claravox Centennial into your rig, and
into your performance.
CAUTION: Be sure you understand the operat-
ing levels of the equipment involved before mak-
ing connections.
Using Claravox Centennial to
Control a Grandmother Sequence
or Arpeggio
In this example, you can use your Claravox Cen-
tennial performance to modify the playback of
a sequence or arpeggio generated by a Moog
Grandmother semi-modular synthesizer.
