powerful Macro controls. For live performance
or on-the-spot creativity, the Macros can kick
everything into high gear. See Mastering the
Macros (p. 58).
exiT button
This button will light as soon as you enter any
page. It will take you back to the previous page,
and it can cancel a process if you decide not to do
something (Initialize, Randomize, Save, etc.). The
Home page is the only page where [EXIT] is not lit,
because that’s the top level of the patch.
paGe up / Down buttons
These two buttons are lit if the selected module
has more than one page. If one of those buttons
is lit that means there are pages available in that
direction. If both are lit then pages are available
in both directions. If neither is lit, there are no
additional pages to select.
Access buttons can be used to flip between pages
too, which works great if there are only a few
pages. But if the module has a lot of pages and
the parameter you want is more than a few pages
away, hold [SHIFT] and press one of the lit arrows
to jump to the first or last page. Then use the Page
Up/Down buttons to reach the desired page.
VOice button
This Access button takes you into a set of
patch-level features like Pitch bend range, Vibrato
settings, Mono/Poly/Unison voice modes, and
the Glide settings. This is also where the Scale is
defined for the keyboard.
Perhaps more subtle but equally important, the
Voice module is also home to the Analog Feel and
Random Phase settings. These can really bring a
patch to life.
See the Modules chapter for specifics about the
Voice module (p. 22) .
MacrO aSSiGn button
This Access button opens a page that is like a
hallway with eight doors, and behind each one
is a lab that makes a powerful performance
control called a Macro. You can define up to eight
modulation routes for each Macro, and then
use the Control knobs and Control buttons to
manipulate the Macros from the Home page. Each
patch has its own set of 8 Macros.
To learn more about what’s on the other side of
those doors, see the chapter Mastering the Macros
(p. 58) .
MOD MaTrix button
The Mod Matrix button reveals a digital patch bay
that provides up to 32 sets of modulation routes
per patch. These are in addition to the Macros,
although they can be controlled by them (and vice
versa).
• Potential sources for the modulation routes
include LFOs, Envelopes, Velocity, the Sustain
pedal, and any MIDI CC\# (Continuous Control
number).
• Destinations can be almost any Hydrasynth
parameter, including any Mod Matrix route.
Additional destinations include the Macros,
the Mod 1 and Mod 2 CV outputs, and any
MIDI CC #.
There’s a lot to say about this topic, so you’ll want
to read The Mod Matrix (p. 61) .
arpeggiator Section
4
The Hydrasynth Explorer provides a comprehensive,
cutting-edge set of arpeggiator features that you can enjoy
immediately.
If you’d like more information, there’s a chapter dedicated
to the ins and outs (or “ups and downs”, if you will) of The
Arpeggiator Section (p. 55) .
