Find by Patch #
This puts the patches in order first by the Bank
they occupy, then in numerical order within
the Banks. The Banks are arranged like this:
• Single mode (writable): A001 to H128
• Single mode (read only):
M1-001U to M5-128U
M1-001L to M5-128L
• Multi mode (writable): M1-001 to M5-128
Find by Name
This option puts all of the patches in alpha-
betical order. As Control knob 1 is turned the
patch Bank and number might jump around a
lot; this is because the patches are still in their
original locations. They are not relocated when
the Find By option is changed.
Find by Category
This sorts the patches by their categories (Arp,
Bass, FX, etc.). The categories themselves are
sorted in alphabetical order, and Control knob
3 is used to scroll through the categories. Note
that Control knob 3 is only active when Find
By Category is selected.
Control knob 1 is used to select individual
patches within the selected category. As it
is turned the patch Bank and number might
jump around a lot; this is because the patches
are not relocated when the Find By option is
changed.
Compare
The patch shown in edit field 5 can be used
to compare the current state of an edited
patch with its unedited version (the default
selection) or with any other Hydrasynth patch
of the same type (Single or Multi).
Control knob 5 is used to scroll through the
patches, which are always displayed here in
their original order (by Bank and number). To
jump through that list 10 patches at a time,
hold [SHIFT] while turning Control knob 5.
Once the desired patch number appears in
edit field 5, use Control button 5 to make the
patch active. Toggle that button as often as
needed to compare it to the edited patch.
Note that temporary edits can be made to the
comparison patch, but those edits will be lost
as soon as Control button 5 is toggled back to
the patch being edited.
Favorite Assign...
There are times when it is very useful to group
certain patches together without having
to relocate them. This feature helps you to
prepare by designating certain patches as
Favorites. It makes them available for rapid
selection later.
There are 16 banks of Favorites containing
eight patches each. You can put the same
patch in several of those locations if you know
you’ll need that patch more than once during
a performance, for example.
Favorites are
not
selected from inside the
Favorites Assign page; this will be explained
shortly. So the first step is to select the desired
patch on the Home page. After that, here’s
how to add that patch to the Favorites list.
1. Press [BROWSE] to access the Browse
page.
2. Press Control button 8 to access the
Favorite Assign page.
3. To assign that patch to the first Favorites
slot, press Control button 1.
The LED ring will flash quickly to confirm
the assignment.
4. Use the Down/Up arrows to select the
next group of 8 patches, if the current
patch belongs there too.
The Left display indicates which of the 16
groups is selected.
5. Return to the Home page to select
another patch, then repeat steps 1-4 to
place it in a Favorites group.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 until the Favorites
groups are full.
During the steps above the Patch knob and
the Left/Right arrows are disabled. This helps
prevent the accidental replacement of a
Favorite within one of the groups.
