Sidechain
Off, BPM Duck, Tap,
Mod In 1, Mod In 2
Selects sidechain source:
Arpeggiator clock, Tap Tempo button,
CV Mod Input 1 or CV Mod Input 2
3
[Ratio]
1.0 :1 to 20.0 :1
Controls compressor strength above
threshold
4
[Threshold]
-64.0 to 0.0 dB
Controls level at which compression
begins
5
Attack
1-400 ms
Time until maximum compression
6
Release
5-560 ms
Time to zero compression if signal is
below threshold
7
Output
0-512
Gain compensation
8
[Dry/Wet]
0.0-100.0%
Blends unaffected and affected signals
Distort

Description
2
Preset
Drive 1-3
Selects a preset template
3
[Drive]
0.0-128.0
Sets the signal level sent to the distortion circuit
4
[Tone]
+/- 64.0
Controls output bandwidth:
-64.0 to -0.1: high cut
0.0: bypass
0.1 to 64.0: low cut
5
Asym
0-128
Changes how the clipping effect is applied:
0 = a balanced (symmetrical) output
Higher levels = increasingly asymmetrical output
6
Curve
0-128
Changes the saturation curve in the distortion:
0 = an overdrive type of effect
Higher levels = increasingly harsh distortion
7
Output
-36 / +24 dB Gain compensation control
8
[Dry/Wet]
0.0-100.0% Blends unaffected and affected signals
Delay Types
Hydrasynth Deluxe offers 5 delay types, each with distinct characteristics:
• Basic Mono combines the stereo input signal and produces a mono delay.
• Basic Stereo preserves the stereo positioning of the input signal.
• Pan Delay alternates between the right and left input signals.
• LRC Delay outputs the left input, then the right input, then both, and repeats that pattern.
• Reverse takes whatever comes in during the delay period and plays it backward.
