About unipolar and bipolar outputs Tips and tricks: Calibration The bipolar output is not a mere scaled and offset version of the unipolar output! It is made of two bumps, a positive one occurring during the attack, and a negative one occurring during the release. • Tides works wonders as a master modulator for a classic analog VCO. 1. Connect a patch cable to the FM input. Leave the other end of the cable unplugged (this prevents the normalling to +/-1 semitone to be activated). Unipolar Bipolar • When using Tides as an oscillator for bass sounds, try both the unipolar and bipolar outputs; and the medium and high ranges - they all sound different. • Use the PLL mode to create just-intonation melodies on top of a drone sent to the CLOCK input. • A different flavor of sync sounds can be obtained by patching a PWM or square source into the FREEZE input. PLL mode • Use the wavefolder on a low-frequency envelope to create bumps and bounces. Hold the frequency range (B) button for 1s. Tides enters the PLL mode. • Use the PLL mode, and trigger the CLOCK input from a rythmic sequencer. In PLL mode, a signal must be provided to the CLOCK input. Tides will adjust its output frequency to match the frequency of this signal or a multiple/division of it as set by the Frequency knob. • In typical Buchla fashion, the low/high tide outputs can be used to chain envelopes and create complex shapes. Hold the frequency range (B) button again to leave the PLL mode. 2. Connect a patch cable to the Level input. Leave the other end of the cable unplugged (this prevents the normalling to full amplitude to be activated). Tides 3. Connect a MIDI>CV interface or precision voltage source to the V/Oct input. Tidal modulator 4. Hold the Mode switch (A) for one second. All LEDs are lit in yellow. 5. Play a C2 note, or send a 1V voltage from your CV source. 6. Press the mode switch (A). All LEDs are lit in green. 7. Play a C4 note, or send a 3V voltage from your CV source. 8. Press the mode switch (A). The module is now calibrated for accurate V/Oct operation! About Tides Front panel Tides is, depending on your point of view, a voltage-controlled looping AR/AD generator which extends into the audio frequencies; or a dynamically waveshaped synth voice with the ability to go into subsonic territories. A Controls Inputs and Outputs Installation B A. Mode selection. Goes back and forth between one-shot AD (green LED), looping (LED off), and one-shot AR (red LED) modes. 1. 2. 3. CV inputs for shape, slope, and smoothness controls. Tides requires a -12V / +12V power supply (2x5 pins connector). The red stripe of the ribbon cable (-12V side) must be oriented on the same side as the “Red stripe” marking on the board. The power consumption is as follows: -12V: 5mA ; +12V: 55mA. C E D G F B. Range selection. Goes back and forth between very low (green LED), low (LED off), and audio (red LED) range. C. Frequency/rate control. 1 2 3 D. Attenuverter for the FM input. When no signal is patched into the FM input, serves as a fine tuning control. 4. Trigger/Gate input. On a rising edge, resets the waveform and starts the ascent. On a falling edge, and in AR mode, starts the descent. 5. Freeze input. A gate signal applied on this input can stop the envelope/oscillator and hold the signal. 6. V/Oct input. 1V/Oct frequency/rate control. 7. FM input, controlled by the attenuverter (D). Online manual and help E. Waveshape of the ascending and descending segments. 8. Waveform amplitude CV - normalled to a constant 8V source. The full manual can be found online at mutable-instruments.net/modules/tides/manual F. Ratio between the duration of the ascending and descending segments. 9. Clock input for PLL operation.

Curve transformation. From 12 o’clock to 7 o’clock (counter-clowise), applies a 2-pole lowpass filter. From 12 o’clock to 5 o’clock (clockwise), applies a wavefolder. 10. 11. End of attack (high tide) and end of decay/ release (low tide) outputs. 12. 13. Unipolar (0 to 8V) and bipolar (-5V to 5V) outputs.
