The FH-2 is an 8HP Eurorack module combining the following functions:

  • MIDI to CV conversion including polyphonic and MPE operation.
    • The FH-2 is simultaneously a USB MIDI host, a USB MIDI device, and also supports traditional 5-pin DIN/TRS MIDI.
    • Support for drum triggers including triggers with velocity or accents.
    • Support for automatic VCO calibration (similar to that in Silent Way).
  • Clock generation and synchronisation.
    • MIDI clock (in and out), analogue clock (in and out), or internal clock (BPM or tap tempo).
  • LFO generation, including tempo-synced LFOs.
  • Arpeggiators.
  • Euclidean pattern generators.
  • Sequencers.
  • CV to MIDI conversion.
  • Preset storage.
    • Simply by storing a constant voltage for each output, the FH-2 can serve the function of a dedicated preset recall module.

The FH-2 has 8 high precision CV outputs, expandable to 64 with the FHX-8CV Expander. Up to 64 additional gate/trigger/clock outputs can also be added with the FHX-8GT Gate Expander, for a possible total of 128 outputs.

The module can be completely configured via its own UI, but a convenient web-based configuration tool is also available here, which communicates with the module directly via MIDI SysEx.
