Instructions for use

Our HG-30

®

synthesizer gets its name from its principal function where 30 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-30 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, 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”.
