HG-16

black Instructions for use
Our HG-16
®
synthesizer gets its name from its principal function where 16 harmonic frequencies are generated atop
the base note. However, it has a total of 14 different modes of operation, mostly using additive synthesis, but some
modes also apply filtering operations for subtractive synthesis. Additionally, four different variations of the classical
channel vocoder are included. HG-16 follows the Eurorack compatible modular synthesizer standard and is not a
stand-alone module, but requires external power from the rack, note determining external voltage, gate trigger, and
preferably several external envelope generators. These instructions cover the power requirements, external
connections, common operating characteristics, and then instructions for each of the 14 synthesis modes. These
instructions are quite detailed, and for experienced users, there is a more compact section at the end for quick setup
of different operating modes, see “Quick mode setup”. This manual covers the “black” version. It has the same
functions as the original HG-16, but the front panel is black instead of gold, and there are some differences in the
input signal connections.
