Working With Other Gear
3.
Set the Grandmother
VCA TYPE
switch to
DRONE
.
NOTE: The Claravox Centennial PITCH OUT
and VOLUME OUT jacks are 1 / 4” jacks, and
Grandmother uses 1 / 8” (3.5mm) jacks, so adapt-
ers will be needed.
4.
Set Grandmother to play a Sequence or Ar-
peggio pattern.
As you move your volume hand away from
the Volume Antenna, you should hear Grand-
mother begin to sound. Moving your pitch hand
closer and further from the Pitch Antenna will
open and close Grandmother’s filter by chang-
ing the Cutoff Frequency. You can use Claravox
Centennial strictly to control Grandmother, or
you can play Claravox Centennial as you con-
trol Grandmother to create a spontaneous – and
interactive – duet.
Using Claravox Centennial to
Control Subharmonicon Timing
In this example, you can use your Claravox Cen-
tennial as a controller for a Moog Subharmon-
icon semi-modular synthesizer performance.
1.
Connect the Claravox Centennial
PITCH
OUT CV
out jack to the Subharmonicon
RHYTHM 1
input jack.
2.
Connect the Claravox Centennial
VOL-
UME OUT CV
jack to the Subharmonicon
RHYTHM 2
input jack.
NOTE: The Claravox Centennial PITCH OUT
and VOLUME OUT jacks are 1 / 4” jacks, and Sub-
harmonicon uses 1 / 8” (3.5mm) jacks, so adapt-
ers will be needed.
Set your Subharmonicon to play as you nor-
mally would.
As you move your pitch hand closer to and fur-
ther from the Pitch Antenna, you should hear
the timing of
RHYTHM 1
change. As you
move your volume hand closer to and further
from the Volume Antenna, you should hear the
timing of
RHYTHM 2
change. In this way,
you can use your Claravox Centennial perfor-
mance to interact with the patterns produced
by your Subharmonicon.
Playing External Instruments
with MIDI Note Data
Claravox Centennial can play external instru-
ments via MIDI using two distinct modes.
Fixed
Mode
utilizes MIDI Pitch Bend messages for
continuous control of the destination instru-
ment.
Chromatic Mode
uses quantized MIDI
Note Numbers which reflect the scale settings of
the active preset.
Fixed Mode
In this mode, only one MIDI Note Number is
sent during performance, along with a stream
of MIDI Pitch Bend messages that correspond
to the Pitch Antenna CV. To begin using Fixed
Mode, first navigate to MIDI Settings in the
