Esoteric Uses
These are a few ideas that will take you beyond the basics of using the CV/Gate connectors.
We’ll refer to Mod 1 in the following examples, but the statements apply equally to Mod 2.
CV Attentuator
You can create a CV attenuator or CV booster
by routing Mod In 1 to ModOut 1 in the
Mod Matrix. The amount of boost or cut is
determined by the mod route Depth setting.
The best results require matching the Mod 1
CV Inverter
You can also use the CV/Gate section as a CV
inverter, though this involves both Mod 1 and
Mod 2. For example, as the mod source use
Mod In 1, as the mod destination use CV /
ModOut 2, and then set Depth to a negative
amount.
Process Audio
As mentioned in the Oscillator chapter, the
can process audio signals
that arrive at the CV Mod Inputs. Refer to
the notes in the FM-Lin and Ring Modulator
sections of that chapter for more details.
CVs and Arpeggios
The Hydrasynth Deluxe arpeggiator can be
used to modulate external devices, too. When
the arpeggiator plays a note it’s the same as
playing the keyboard manually: each note
sends a Pitch CV and Gate signal. Again, for the
best results use a monophonic
.
