Tides
User manual
OVERVIEW
Tides is a digital waveform generator providing both single-shot and cyclic operation modes, and covering
a very wide range of frequencies from 0.5mHz to 10kHz. As such, it can serve as an AD or AR envelope
generator, a LFO, or an audio oscillator. Its unique design allows the waveform to be controlled along 3
dimensions: curvature of the rise and fall segments (shape), relative timing of the rise and fall segments
(slope), and harmonic content (smoothness).
INSTALLATION
Tides is designed for Eurorack synthesizer systems and occupies 14 HP of space. It requires a -12V /
+12V supply (2x5 connector), drawing 5mA from the -12V rail and 55mA from the +12V rail. The red stripe
of the ribbon cable must be oriented on the same side as the “Red stripe” marking on the printed circuit
board.
