Patch selection
One of the major
functions of this
section is patch
selection. There are
several methods,
and you might use
them all at different
times depending on
what you’re doing.
Patch knob
From the Home page
you can select an
adjacent patch by
turning the Patch
knob a single click in either direction. You
can also jump between the banks if you hold
[SHIFT] while turning the knob.
Left / Right arrows
As with the Patch knob, press one of these
buttons to select an adjacent patch. Hold
[SHIFT] first to make the buttons jump
through the patches 10 at a time.
Browse
This page lets you alter the way the patches
are presented in each bank. There are three
different sort orders: By Patch #, by Name, or
by Category.
The Browse page also contains a robust
Compare feature, as well as a sub-menu where
you can designate a Multi or Single patch as a
Favorite. You can stash up to 128 of these in a
Favorites bank for instant access.
For details on each of these functions, see
.
Favorites (Shift + Browse)
When you need to find your best sounds
immediately you can jump straight to your
Favorites bank from any other page.
• Hold [SHIFT] and press [BROWSE] to access
your Favorites
• Use the Page Down/Up arrows to move
between the 16 banks of Favorites
• Press the Control button next to the patch
name to select it.
The HOME button
The Home button is located at the bottom of
the Main Systems section. It provides a quick
way to get back to the top level of Single or
Multi mode, where the Macro controls are. This
is known as the Home page in either mode.
All Notes Off
Sometimes MIDI signals are disrupted and
a note becomes stuck. If that happens, hold
[SHIFT] and press [HOME] to transmit an “All
Notes Off” command. This will silence any
stuck notes.
The SAVE button
Whenever you’ve made an edit that you’d hate
to lose, press [SAVE] to access the Save page.
You’ll be able to select a new location for the
edited patch, rename it, and assign it to a
category (Bass, Pad, etc.). You can even decide
which color the Patch knob and wheels will be
when the patch is selected.
There’s another feature that determines
whether the positions of the Macro knobs will
be stored as-is, returned to zero, or saved as
edits to the parameters they control.
For details, see
System Setup
This section has 13 pages. It holds all of the
global settings for the keyboard, the knobs,
the pedals, the CV / Gate section, etc.
[SAVE] and [SYSTEM SETUP] are used
together to specify the boot-up patch for the
Hydrasynth Deluxe.
