Figure 1: The HG-16 black front panel texts and outlines.
Front panel texts
The front panel texts are shown in the picture.
To make it easier to find the controls in these instructions, all the
words that can be found on the front panel of the synthesizer are emphasized in
bold
throughout the whole text.
A short list of the front panel texts and associated controls follows. Because several controls have different
functions in different operating modes, you need to go to the actual mode to learn their specific detailed functions.
mode select
: a 10 position rotary selector for selecting one of the 14 operating modes. The light emitting diode
under the
+10
opening shows modes over 9.
gate on/off/envelope select
: 3 position toggle switch, routes the gate signal to the synthesizer, also used in the
virtual switchboard programming. Mostly used in the
off
position, see the mode instructions and virtual switchboard
instructions for details.
tune
: fine tuning; typically not needed for user adjustment.
volume
: main volume adjustment.
adjust 1
and
adjust 2
: mode specific adjustments, multi-turn digital encoders.
D.C. out
: constant voltage output, useful in many modes as a constant “envelope” output.
4 x envelope inputs
: inputs for external envelope control, can be routed to any of the 30 sliders for dynamic
parameter control using the virtual switchboard, positive voltage ranges.
CV pitch
: input for the pitch bend control voltage signal; m2.5V, minimum -2.5V.
CV velocity
: input for the key pressure velocity control voltage signal.
modulation 1
and
2
: mode specific modulation inputs, positive voltage range, typically connected to external
envelopes.
gate:
the note trigger input signal.
CV note:
input for the note determining analog voltage, 1V/octave scaling.
out balanced:
main output, mono, balanced output. The output D/A has 24bit accuracy, and working with the
