Compressor
Control knob Parameter Range Description
2 Sidechain O, BPM Duck, Tap,
Mod In 1, Mod In 2
Selects sidechain source:
Arpeggiator clock, Tap Tempo button,
CV Mod Input 1 or CV Mod Input 2
3 [Ratio] 1.0 :1 to 20.0 :1 Controls compressor strength above
threshold
4 [Threshold] -64.0 to 0.0 dB Controls level at which compression
begins
5 Attack 1-400 ms Time until maximum compression
6 Release 5-560 ms Time to zero compression if signal is
below threshold
7 Output 0-512 Gain compensation
8 [Dry/Wet] 0.0-100.0% Blends unaected and aected signals
Distort
Control knob Parameter Range Description
2 Preset Drive 1-3 Selects a preset template
3 [Drive] 0.0-128.0 Sets the signal level sent to the distortion circuit
4 [Tone] +/- 64.0 Controls output bandwidth:
-64.0 to -0.1: high cut
0.0: bypass
0.1 to 64.0: low cut
5 Asym 0-128 Changes how the clipping eect is applied:
0 = a balanced (symmetrical) output
Higher levels = increasingly asymmetrical output
6 Curve 0-128 Changes the saturation curve in the distortion:
0 = an overdrive type of eect
Higher levels = increasingly harsh distortion
7 Output -36 / +24 dB Gain compensation control
8 [Dry/Wet] 0.0-100.0% Blends unaected and aected signals
Delay Types
Hydrasynth oers 5 delay types, each with distinct characteristics:
• Basic Mono combines the stereo input signal and produces a mono delay.
• Basic Stereo preserves the stereo positioning of the input signal.
• Pan Delay alternates between the right and left input signals.
• LRC Delay outputs the left input, then the right input, then both, and repeats that pattern.
• Reverse takes whatever comes in during the delay period and plays it backward.
