but the parts inside the Multi are not. So
the Upper/Lower sounds remain the same,
but the MultiMode, split points, balance,
octave ranges, Arp setting, and controller
settings will be randomized.
Percent of Randomization
The Random feature lets you specify how
much randomization takes place in each
module. Press [RANDOM] to gain access to two
pages, on which you are able to set the ran-
domization limit for the modules listed below.
Page Modules
Range
1
OSC 1-3, Mutant 1-4, Mixer,
Filters, Macro, ModMtrx,
ENV, LFO
0-100%
2
Voice, Amp, FX, Arp, Ribbon 0-100%
Random Patch selection
You can let the Hydrasynth Deluxe select a
new patch for you. This works from any page:
• Hold [RANDOM] and press one of the Left/
Right arrows.
• Confirm the procedure by pressing
[RANDOM] again.
• To cancel the random selection procedure,
press [EXIT].
The SHIFT button
The Shift button is used in combination
with various buttons and knobs to access
secondary functions. When these are available
the secondary functions are indicated with a
row of orange text under the control.
In some cases [SHIFT] is used to accelerate
value selection. For example, if you hold
[SHIFT] and turn the Patch knob you can jump
between Patch banks, as opposed to the
standard operation of +/- 1 patch.
You can also use [SHIFT] to help fine-tune
a value that has a large range. For example,
if you want to set a precise value for filter
resonance, hold [SHIFT] and turn the
appropriate Control knob.
For a complete list of the available Shift
functions, see

Master Control Section
8
If you like to make your own patches, you
might enjoy this top-panel section the most.
When a Module is accessed the parameter
values are shown in the Right display, selected
with the Control buttons, and adjusted with
the Control knobs. In Multi mode these edit
the Upper part, the Lower part, or Both,
depending on the top panel status. The Access
button colors tell you which parts are active.
The Page Up/Down buttons provide access to
more parameters whenever a Module offers
more than eight. We’ll describe the parameters
of each Module in
.
The Master Control section is also a lot of fun
when you’re on the Home page, thanks to the
powerful Macro controls. For live performance
or on-the-spot creativity, the Macros can kick
everything into high gear. See
EXIT button
This button will light as soon as you enter any
page. It will take you back to the previous
page, and it can cancel a process if you decide
not to do something (Initialize, Randomize,
Save, etc.). The Home page is the only page
where [EXIT] is not lit, because that’s the top
level of the patch.
