CV is control voltage used to transmit continuous electrical signals between electronic instruments and modules. It allows parameters such as pitch, filter cutoff, amplitude, and modulation to be controlled in a fluid, analogue manner. CV is fundamental to modular and semi-modular systems, enabling direct, real-time interaction between sound sources, controllers, and processors.
Eurorack is a modular synthesis format with standardised dimensions, power connections, and signal levels. Eurorack systems are built from individual modules mounted in cases, allowing users to create highly customisable instruments tailored to specific sound design and performance needs.
MIDI is a digital control standard used to transmit performance and control data between electronic instruments, computers, and hardware devices. It carries information such as note data, velocity, timing, and parameter changes rather than audio, allowing instruments and software to communicate, stay in sync, and control each other. MIDI is fundamental to modern music production, sequencing, and live performance setups.
A module is a self-contained unit designed to perform a specific function within a larger system. Modules are commonly used in modular and Eurorack setups, where each unit handles tasks such as sound generation, modulation, filtering, or control, allowing systems to be built and expanded piece by piece.
New Gear is unused and in original condition, supplied as it leaves the manufacturer. It is chosen for guaranteed reliability, full functionality, and the assurance of manufacturer support. For example, buying new ensures access to the latest design revisions, included accessories, and official warranty coverage.
Polyphonic is the ability to play multiple notes at the same time. Polyphonic instruments allow chords, layered harmonies, and complex musical passages, making them suitable for pads, harmonic textures, and expressive performance.
A voice is a single complete sound path within an instrument, typically made up of an oscillator, filter, amplifier, and modulation. It determines how many notes can be played at once and how each note is shaped. For example, an instrument with multiple voices can play chords and layered parts, while each voice handles the sound of one note independently.
