The Effects
The Hydrasynth Deluxe voice engine is so powerful that it only made sense to pair it with an
equally powerful effects section. There are four independent effect modules available, two
of which provide awe-inspiring delay and reverb effects, while the other two are the aural
equivalent of a set of Swiss Army knives. Any tool you need for your music, Hydrasynth Deluxe
has it.
Some parameter names are shown below in [brackets]. These are available as mod desti-
nations for Macros and the Mod Matrix. The values for these parameters have finer
increments than the others, which ensures maximum resolution when they are being
modulated.
Pre- and Post-FX
The only difference between these two FX modules is that one precedes the Delay and Reverb
and the other follows them. They serve different purposes due to their placement in the signal
path, so they will often have different settings. But since their FX types and parameters are
identical, both modules will be covered in this section.
These are the FX types available for the Pre-FX and Post-FX modules:
• Chorus
• Flanger
• Rotary
• Phaser
• Lo-Fi
• Tremolo
• EQ
• Compressor
• Distort
Each FX type has preset templates that can be used as starting points for your own creations.
When the patch is saved the FX settings are preserved.
Bypass
This is the default option. To disable the effect module, set it to Bypass.
