Select Macro Destinations
When Hydrasynth Deluxe is on the Home
page the Control knobs and Control buttons
are capable of adjusting up to 8 parameters
each (16 in Multi mode). The module buttons
make it easy to set these up.
First the Hydrasynth Deluxe must be on
the Macro Assign page, where the module
buttons become shortcuts to select the
parameters you want to control. This is signifi-
cantly faster than scrolling through all of the
other modules to reach the one you want.
Everything you need to know about setting up
Macros is in the chapter
.
Copy / Paste settings
Some modules are identical, and their
parameter values can be copied from
one module to another. For example, you
can copy the settings from Oscillator 1 to
Oscillator 2, or vice versa, because their data is
interchangeable.
Some modules have unique features and
capabilities and their data is
not
interchange-
able. For example: you can’t copy the settings
from Oscillator 3 to Oscillator 1 because their
parameters are very different.
Copy / paste procedure
The process of copying the settings between
compatible modules is simple:
• Press and hold the Save button: All
modules that are potential copy sources
are lit
• Select the copy source: Only potential
paste destinations remain lit
• Select the paste destination. The process
will execute and all buttons will become
unlit, indicating success.
Here’s a real-life example: Let’s say you want to
copy the settings from Envelope 1 to Envelope
2, and then make some slight adjustments so
Envelope 2 comes in more slowly and fades
out sooner. It’s easy: Hold [SAVE], press [ENV1],
and then press [ENV2]. Release the Save
button and you’re ready to edit Envelope 2.
Modules that will
When the Save button is held some of the
Module buttons are lit. These are the ones
that can be copied and pasted. There are
limitations, of course; the parameters of an
Oscillator cannot be pasted to one of the
Filters, for example. Here’s a chart that shows
the possible combinations.
