Tides
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.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This device meets the requirements of the following standards: EN55032, EN55103-2,
EN61000-3-2, EN61000-3-3, EN62311.

- Page 2 Whenever the signal on this input is high, the oscillator or envelope stops in its tracks - until the input is back to 0V. The detection threshold is 0.7V. 6. V/Oct frequency input. Tides is digital and tracks well. If it does not, head to the “Calibration” section to fix this! 7. FM input.

Page 4: Firmware Update Procedure
FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE Unplug all CV inputs/outputs from the module. Connect the output of your audio interface/sound card to the FM input (7). Power on your modular system with Tides’ mode switch pressed. The 3 LEDs will blink, with a yellow color. -
