H a k e n A u d i o C V C U s e r ’ s G u i d e The Continuum Fingerboard controls the CVC using the i2c serial standard. The communication rate is 400 kHz. When you connect your CVC to your Continuum Fingerboard, the Continuum’s internal computer automatically identifies which CVC is connected.
Take care to avoid shorting CVC outputs to ground for extended periods of time, as this could cause the CVC’s output drivers to overheat. If you have trouble with this, or if you would like optional output protection resistors installed in your CVC, please contact Haken Audio. 1.2. Back Panel Connect to Continuum Midi Out.
The CVC works best with a shielded Midi cable that has all 5 pins connected, and has good connectors (such as high quality Neutrik connectors). Haken Audio has tested the Excellines Midi Cable, with a length of 10 feet or less. This cable is available in a variety of lengths from many on-line stores, including B &...

H a k e n A u d i o C V C U s e r ’ s G u i d e If polyphony is 1 and Layering is selected, then the Gate, X, Y, Z for each note will be available on all four sets of CVC outputs.

If you have intermittent problems with the CVC (notes drop out once in a while), you may be experiencing i2c communications errors on your Midi cable. Try a different high quality cable, and/or a shorter cable. If any of these problems persist, please contact Haken Audio for further guidance. P a g e 9...
