CV Source: Keyboard, Theremin
This setting allows you to specify whether the keyboard or the ribbon will be the CV/Gate
source. For best results, set the ribbon to
and enable the Quantize
parameter so its output will conform to the selected Scale.
CV – Clock: Page 9
These are the settings required to synchronize with most non-MIDI devices. Please refer to the
specifications of other devices and match those settings on the Hydrasynth Deluxe.

PPS (Pulse Per Step) sends a single cycle of the clock output with every Arpeggiator step, or
every time [TAP TEMPO] is pressed when the Tap Trig parameter is active on Arp Edit page 2.
PPS works well with modular synths: the clock output behaves a bit like a Gate output (with Tap
Trig) or even as a square wave LFO.
PPQ stands for Pulse Per Quarter note. Between these three options and the Clock Division
value it is possible to generate a wide variety of clock signals from 1/2 PPQ to 96 PPQ.
Clock Division
This subdivides or multiplies the clock output: 1/2 divides by 0.5, so the clock speeds up (to
double tempo); 2 and 4 slow down the clock to half tempo and one-quarter tempo, respec-
tively. A setting of Off = no change.
CV – Mods: Page 10
These settings enable the use of devices with different CV standards. For example, Input /
Output Mod 1 can be set to +/- 5V while Input / Output Mod 2 are set to 0-10V. The Offset
ranges are independent in each direction, which allows the voltages to be fine-tuned to
compensate for the idiosyncrasies of individual devices.

The allowable range for input /output voltages is from -5V to 10V. If an input or output
value attempts to exceed the range, it will be clipped automatically to the lowest or
highest possible value depending on which value has been exceeded.
