CV – Clock: Page 8
These are the settings required to synchronize with most non-MIDI devices. Please refer to the
specications of other devices and match those settings on the Hydrasynth.
Control knob Function Range
1 Clock Control Voltage 3V, 5V, 10V
2 Clock Rate 1 PPS, 2 PPQ, 24 PPQ, 48 PPQ
3 Clock Division O, 1/2, 2, 4
4 Clock Oset -100ms to +100ms
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 O = no change.
CV – Mods: Page 9
These settings enable the use of devices with dierent CV standards. For example, Input /
Output Mod 1 can be set to +/- 5V while Input / Output Mod 2 are set to 0-10V. The Oset
ranges are independent in each direction, which allows the voltages to be ne-tuned to
compensate for the idiosyncrasies of individual devices.
Control knob Function Range
1 IM1 Range (Mod 1 input) +/- 5V, 0-10V, 0-5V, 0-1V
2 IM2 Range (Mod 2 input) +/- 5V, 0-10V, 0-5V, 0-1V
3 OM1 Range (Mod 1 output) +/- 5V, 0-10V, 0-5V, 0-1V
4 OM2 Range (Mod 2 output) +/- 5V, 0-10V, 0-5V, 0-1V
5 IM1 Oset (Mod 1 input) +/- 3.0V
6 IM2 Oset (Mod 2 input) +/- 3.0V
7 OM1 Oset (Mod 1 output) +/- 3.0V
8 OM2 Oset (Mod 2 output) +/- 3.0V
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.
